Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
14 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
1.20 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 37.2.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 25 matches (1.20 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 69 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 28 catches + 0 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 1.20 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 785 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 37.2, strike rate 56.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
