Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
22 of 42 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.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 5.5 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
