Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 2.74 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.24 dismissals per match across 41 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.6.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 127.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- 1,362 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 34.6, strike rate 54.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 10 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.59 per match at 22.9, economy 2.74, strike rate 50.2.
