Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 45.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
26 of 37 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.
Economy of 3.58 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.61 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 44 matches (0.61 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 21 × 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 20.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.68 per match at 26.5, economy 3.58, strike rate 44.5.
