Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 6.07 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
15 of 16 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.42 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 35.9.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 19 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 28 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 19 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 589 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 35.9, strike rate 60.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.18 per match at 33.6, economy 6.07, strike rate 33.2.
