Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
23 of 32 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
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.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 50 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 5 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 4 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 18.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.68 per match at 36.1, economy 4.26, strike rate 50.8.
