Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 34.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
16 of 19 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 14% 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 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 1 · 4th grade 3). 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: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 15.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.78 per match at 31.6, economy 4.42, strike rate 42.9.
