Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 5.89 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
14 of 17 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 17 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 36 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.75 per match at 34.2, economy 5.89, strike rate 34.8.
