Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
3 of 4 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.
Only 0.11 catches per match over 18 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.26.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 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 (4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.47 per match at 18.7, economy 3.26, strike rate 34.4.
