Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
24 of 32 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 38 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 21.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 28 wickets from 101.0 overs across 24 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
