Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
24 of 33 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 3.34 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Bowling average (26.4) beats batting average (23.0) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 172.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 15 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 10 run outs (4 direct, 6 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 776 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 23.0, strike rate 56.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.84 per match at 26.4, economy 3.34, strike rate 47.4.
