Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
18 of 21 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 26 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- 626 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 29.1, strike rate 63.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.95 per match at 29.3, economy 4.14, strike rate 42.6.
