Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 26 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- 565 runs in 23 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 61.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.20 per match at 20.2, economy 5.44, strike rate 22.3.
