Vulnerable to the straight ball
5 of 9 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.75 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 33.8 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 95.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 20 matches (0.75 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 7 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 52 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (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
- Keeping: 11 catches + 7 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.95 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 421 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 33.8, strike rate 95.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
