Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.1 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.
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 68 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 38 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (1st grade 40 · 2nd grade 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 999 runs in 59 innings, adjusted average 21.5, strike rate 50.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 0.72 per match at 24.6, economy 3.69, strike rate 40.0.
