Critical recommendations
31 of 38 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.19.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 11 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 9 · 4th grade 3). 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: 19 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 21.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 79 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.52 per match at 18.7, economy 3.19, strike rate 35.0.
