Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.09.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 53 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 12 · 2nd grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 20.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.62 per match at 20.5, economy 3.09, strike rate 39.9.
