Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.8 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 27 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 37 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 20). 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 370 runs in 25 innings, adjusted average 20.1, strike rate 60.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 39.0 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.62 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
