- ● Body of work — 41 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
28 of 40 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.66 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.25.
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 41 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.61 per match.
- Batting
- 962 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 53.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.47 per match at 20.5, economy 3.25, strike rate 37.9.
