Critical recommendations
25 of 31 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.62 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.1.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 34 matches (0.62 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 77 × 40% · Batting 69 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.74 per match.
- Batting
- 1,060 runs in 33 innings, adjusted average 34.1, strike rate 74.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.55 per match at 15.4, economy 3.45, strike rate 26.8.
