Critical recommendations
Going at 7.81 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
14 of 19 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.28 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 48.9.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 135.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 111.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 25 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 92 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 30%. 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 7 catches + 0 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.28 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 947 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 48.9, strike rate 135.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.85 per match at 35.7, economy 7.81, strike rate 27.5.
