Critical recommendations
32 of 45 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.65 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 126.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 48 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 73 × 40% · Batting 70 × 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
- ×0.42 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.69 per match.
- Batting
- 1,106 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 126.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 21 wickets from 97.3 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
