- ● Body of work — 36 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 5.70 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
24 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 678 runs in 34 innings, adjusted average 21.1, strike rate 60.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.77 per match at 27.1, economy 5.70, strike rate 28.6.
