Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 65.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0.13 catches per match over 32 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.
24 of 32 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 66 × 30% · Bowling 26 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- 938 runs in 33 innings, adjusted average 29.3, strike rate 65.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.34 per match at 21.6, economy 4.98, strike rate 26.1.
