Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 57.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
1.0 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.
9 of 12 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.71 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 21 matches (0.71 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 12 catches + 3 stumpings + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.86 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 198 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 15.5, strike rate 57.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.52 per match at 15.3, economy 5.25, strike rate 17.5.
