Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 30.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
27 of 35 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 44 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 29.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.22 per match at 21.7, economy 3.35, strike rate 38.9.
