Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 41.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
20 of 27 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 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.04 is excellent but a wicket every 66 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.20 dismissals per match across 25 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 13 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 23 · 2nd grade 2). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- 521 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 19.3, strike rate 41.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.93 per match at 33.5, economy 3.04, strike rate 66.1.
