Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 24 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.80 for the level played (1st grade 14 · 3rd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 31.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.13 per match at 22.9, economy 4.29, strike rate 32.0.
