- ● Body of work — 40 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Economy of 3.99 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (27.0) beats batting average (22.0) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 40 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 38 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 754 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 22.0, strike rate 49.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 54 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.38 per match at 27.0, economy 3.99, strike rate 40.6.
