- ● All-round value (+5)
Critical recommendations
5 of 5 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 57.6.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 93.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.53.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 8 matches (0.75 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 69 × 40% · Batting 81 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.88 per match.
- Batting
- 335 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 57.6, strike rate 93.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 8 matches — 1.38 per match at 12.2, economy 2.53, strike rate 28.9.
