Critical recommendations
Only 0.08 catches per match over 13 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.
8 of 9 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 81.6.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 140.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 193.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.39.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 6 × 40% · Batting 99 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.08 per match.
- Batting
- 783 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 81.6, strike rate 140.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 2.33 per match at 12.2, economy 2.39, strike rate 30.7.
