- ● All-round value (+5)
Critical recommendations
28 of 40 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 11% 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 (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.19 dismissals per match across 43 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 116.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.20.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 1,005 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 116.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.38 per match at 16.0, economy 3.20, strike rate 30.0.
