Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 42.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 20 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 31 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 12 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting 35 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 12 catches + 12 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.84 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 402 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 18.5, strike rate 42.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
