Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
9 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.54.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.20 per match.
- Batting
- 483 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 35.8, strike rate 58.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.50 per match at 19.0, economy 3.54, strike rate 32.3.
