- ● Body of work — 41 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
19 of 25 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.71 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 32.1.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 41 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 74 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.83 per match.
- Batting
- 863 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 32.1, strike rate 69.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.76 per match at 10.2, economy 3.20, strike rate 19.1.
