Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.03 is excellent but a wicket every 50 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 20 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (State competition 5 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 244 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 19.5, strike rate 59.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.44 per match at 25.5, economy 3.03, strike rate 50.5.
