Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
32 of 43 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.4.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 48 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 69 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 12 · 2nd grade 22 · 3rd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 1,361 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 31.4, strike rate 62.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.23 per match at 19.6, economy 3.53, strike rate 33.3.
