Critical recommendations
Going at 6.33 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
18 of 24 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.68 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 94.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 31 matches (0.68 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 8 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 15 catches + 8 stumpings + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.90 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 714 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 28.9, strike rate 94.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.29 per match at 21.1, economy 6.33, strike rate 20.0.
