Critical recommendations
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.8.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 96.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 45 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 21 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 1,145 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 36.8, strike rate 96.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 0.56 per match at 19.3, economy 4.25, strike rate 27.2.
