Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 2.43 is excellent but a wicket every 52 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.44 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 47.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 127.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.43.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 34 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 84 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 1,005 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 47.4, strike rate 51.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.19 per match at 21.1, economy 2.43, strike rate 52.2.
