Critical recommendations
1.1 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
0.66 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 38.8 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 118.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.8.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 15 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 29 matches (0.66 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · Bowling 75 × 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 2 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 709 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 38.8, strike rate 118.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.04 per match at 9.8, economy 3.90, strike rate 15.1.
