Critical recommendations
15 of 20 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 94.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 134.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 570 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 27.7, strike rate 94.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
