- ● Body of work — 27 imported matches (+0.5)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.82 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
17 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.19 dismissals per match across 27 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.4.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 129.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 154.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling 16 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- 865 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 37.4, strike rate 129.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.30 per match at 28.0, economy 5.82, strike rate 28.9.
