Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 31.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
7 of 14 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.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (31.2) beats batting average (28.6) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 25 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 2 · 4th grade 16). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 28.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.67 per match at 31.3, economy 4.63, strike rate 40.5.
