Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.08.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 37 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- 827 runs in 35 innings, adjusted average 28.4, strike rate 62.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 2.14 per match at 14.3, economy 3.08, strike rate 27.9.
