Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 52 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 865 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 16.5, strike rate 52.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 27.7 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
