Critical recommendations
30 of 40 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.23 dismissals per match across 43 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 39.7.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 113.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.78.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 40% · Batting 88 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 1,597 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 39.7, strike rate 85.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 63 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.57 per match at 14.4, economy 3.78, strike rate 22.9.
