Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 117.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.53.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 32 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
