Critical recommendations
6 of 8 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.
0.85 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 60.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 112.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 13 matches (0.85 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 81 × 40% · Batting 93 × 30% · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 13 matches — 1.08 per match.
- Batting
- 543 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 60.3, strike rate 76.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 2.00 per match at 13.1, economy 3.97, strike rate 19.8.
