Critical recommendations
8 of 15 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
79% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
0.64 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (30.4) beats batting average (25.4) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 14 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 73 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.93 per match.
- Batting
- 392 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 25.4, strike rate 89.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
