Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
30 of 41 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 41 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.20 for the level played (Club 1 · 5th grade and below 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 16.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.66 per match at 16.7, economy 4.27, strike rate 23.5.
