Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.05 catches per match over 40 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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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: 2 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- 539 runs in 35 innings, adjusted average 18.0, strike rate 61.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 19 wickets from 77.3 overs across 17 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
