Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 33.7 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 22 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 398 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 33.7, strike rate 48.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 22 matches — 1.00 per match at 12.0, economy 4.55, strike rate 15.8.
