Critical recommendations
2 of 3 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Going at 6.15 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
0.15 dismissals per match across 13 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Only 3 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×1.00 for the level played (National competition 13). 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: 3 innings at 2.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.11 per match at 32.4, economy 6.15, strike rate 31.6.
