Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
33 of 46 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.68 for the level played (National competition 5 · 1st grade 15 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 1,270 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 61.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.62 per match at 30.0, economy 4.42, strike rate 40.7.
