Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
21 of 25 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 2.53 is excellent but a wicket every 48 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.53.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 30 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 19 · 3rd grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 594 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 23.6, strike rate 52.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.46 per match at 20.0, economy 2.53, strike rate 47.5.
