Critical recommendations
20 of 38 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (19.4) beats batting average (16.7) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 44 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 7 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- 639 runs in 42 innings, adjusted average 16.7, strike rate 84.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.07 per match at 19.4, economy 4.05, strike rate 28.7.
