Critical recommendations
Going at 7.10 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.06 catches per match over 50 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
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.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 92.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 2 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (National competition 10 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- 778 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 92.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 29 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.58 per match at 16.7, economy 7.10, strike rate 14.1.
