- ● Regional representative — 14 matches (+2.1)
- ● Body of work — 45 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
27 of 32 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.42 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.24 for the level played (3rd grade 2 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 508 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 15.6, strike rate 64.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.44 per match at 23.2, economy 3.42, strike rate 40.7.
