Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
27 of 36 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Economy of 2.52 is excellent but a wicket every 55 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 45.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 129.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.52.
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 46 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling 29 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 1,720 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 45.5, strike rate 52.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.25 per match at 23.1, economy 2.52, strike rate 55.0.
