Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 32.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.11 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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
- ×0.26 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · Club 7 · 4th grade 24 · 5th grade and below 22). 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: 6 catches + 0 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.11 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 54.0 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.22 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
