- ● Body of work — 57 imported matches (+1.1)
Critical recommendations
36 of 46 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 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 12% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.65 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 192.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 44). 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: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 1,191 runs in 48 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 192.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 92 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.80 per match at 25.4, economy 3.65, strike rate 41.7.
