Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (43.5) beats batting average (26.7) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 47 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 14 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- 881 runs in 41 innings, adjusted average 26.7, strike rate 50.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.71 per match at 43.5, economy 4.20, strike rate 62.1.
