Critical recommendations
Going at 5.85 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
30 of 40 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 50 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.97 per match at 21.6, economy 5.85, strike rate 22.1.
