Critical recommendations
Going at 5.81 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
10 of 11 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.19 dismissals per match across 16 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 177.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 318 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 28.2, strike rate 177.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.87 per match at 29.0, economy 5.81, strike rate 29.9.
