Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
8 of 14 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 19 matches (1.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 82 × 40% · Batting 48 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 26 catches + 0 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 19 matches — 1.42 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 417 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 27.7, strike rate 51.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
