Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
72% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 155.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 23 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 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 21 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.57 per match.
- Batting
- 310 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 20.6, strike rate 79.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.11 per match at 20.9, economy 4.11, strike rate 30.4.
