Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 44.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
17 of 22 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.11 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 26 matches (0.50 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 24 × 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.20 per match at 22.4, economy 3.11, strike rate 43.2.
