Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Going at 5.62 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 52.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 20 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 811 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 52.7, strike rate 55.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.50 per match at 24.9, economy 5.62, strike rate 26.6.
