- ● Body of work — 34 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
17 of 32 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 34 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (2nd grade 2 · Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- 878 runs in 36 innings, adjusted average 27.1, strike rate 55.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.73 per match at 13.1, economy 3.92, strike rate 20.0.
