Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
23 of 43 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 63 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 26 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,119 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 25.5, strike rate 56.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
