- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 36 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
23 of 32 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 17.5 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
