Critical recommendations
17 of 24 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 42.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 133.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.93.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 1,076 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 42.0, strike rate 83.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.76 per match at 15.4, economy 2.93, strike rate 31.5.
