Critical recommendations
Going at 5.89 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 101.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 154.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 50 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 81 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.99 for the level played (National competition 28 · 1st grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,188 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 29.2, strike rate 101.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.87 per match at 24.7, economy 5.89, strike rate 25.2.
