Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.59 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 49 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.63 per match.
- Batting
- 893 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 23.2, strike rate 66.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.22 per match at 25.0, economy 4.31, strike rate 34.9.
