Critical recommendations
4 of 8 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.
Only 0.06 catches per match over 18 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.52 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 30.2 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 97.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.52.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 5 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.06 per match.
- Batting
- 322 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 30.2, strike rate 97.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.81 per match at 25.2, economy 3.52, strike rate 42.9.
