Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.09 catches per match over 47 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.
Only 7% of 50+ scores become hundreds (14 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 47.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.52.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 3 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.09 per match.
- Batting
- 1,574 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 47.4, strike rate 60.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.36 per match at 15.9, economy 2.52, strike rate 37.9.
