Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 63.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.22 dismissals per match across 45 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.64.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 45 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 1,145 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 35.8, strike rate 63.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 84 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 45 played) — 1.91 per match at 16.1, economy 2.64, strike rate 36.7.
