Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 5.52 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.45 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 93 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 16 run outs.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 11 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 45 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 31 catches + 11 stumpings + 16 run outs (3 direct, 13 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.62 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,647 runs in 86 innings, adjusted average 24.3, strike rate 85.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
46 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 0.81 per match at 20.2, economy 5.52, strike rate 21.9.
