Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
4 of 5 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 31.4 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 10 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 5). 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: 5 catches + 0 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 209 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 31.4, strike rate 51.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.86 per match at 21.2, economy 3.18, strike rate 40.0.
