Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.2 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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.96 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 11 · 4th grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 925 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 20.6, strike rate 54.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.67 per match at 29.3, economy 3.96, strike rate 44.4.
