Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 37.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
2 of 3 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 38 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 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 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 3 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 4 catches + 1 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.18 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 20.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 35 wickets from 111.0 overs across 38 matches — 0.92 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
