Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.9 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 6.04 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.15 dismissals per match across 13 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 3 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 22.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 26.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.83 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
