Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 43.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.23 dismissals per match across 52 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 109.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.48.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 935 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 22.1, strike rate 43.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
