Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 33.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
14 of 27 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 21% 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 27 × 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 35). 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: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 28.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 16 wickets from 99.0 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
