Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 14 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.74 is excellent but a wicket every 78 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 17 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 20 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.21 for the level played (Club 2 · 5th grade and below 15). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 18.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.56 per match at 48.4, economy 3.74, strike rate 77.6.
