Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 8.55 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 0.08 catches per match over 12 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.6.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (2nd grade 7 · 5th grade and below 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- 151 runs in 6 innings, adjusted average 33.6, strike rate 64.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.71 per match at 49.6, economy 8.55, strike rate 34.8.
