Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
27 of 38 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.49 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 53 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 11 · 5th grade and below 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 931 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 23.3, strike rate 53.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.03 per match at 18.2, economy 3.85, strike rate 28.4.
