Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 44.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.13 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.
23 of 32 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 62 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (3rd grade 10 · 4th grade 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.15 per match.
- Batting
- 664 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 20.4, strike rate 44.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.31 per match at 18.2, economy 4.16, strike rate 26.3.
