Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
5 of 7 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.57 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 14 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 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 14). 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
- Keeping: 7 catches + 0 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 19.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 14 played) — 0.57 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
