Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 133.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.99.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 44 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 76 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 76 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 10 run outs (4 direct, 6 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.66 per match.
