Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 21 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Economy of 3.42 is excellent but a wicket every 59 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 36.8 (frequently not out).
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 29 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.14 per match.
- Batting
- 507 runs in 20 innings, adjusted average 36.8, strike rate 58.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.67 per match at 33.7, economy 3.42, strike rate 59.0.
