Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 62.5 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 (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.42 is excellent but a wicket every 41 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 56 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 50 × 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 (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 55). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 1,224 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 26.4, strike rate 62.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 63 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.26 per match at 23.2, economy 3.42, strike rate 40.8.
