Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 43.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.70 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.83 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 30 matches (0.83 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 41 × 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
- ×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 11 · 5th grade and below 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.77 per match.
- Batting
- 792 runs in 30 innings, adjusted average 29.9, strike rate 43.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 61.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.30 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
