Critical recommendations
Going at 5.88 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
10 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 13 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 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
- ×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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 72.3 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.42 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
