Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
11 of 15 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Economy of 3.10 is excellent but a wicket every 53 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 15 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 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
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 10 · 3rd grade 3). 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
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 18.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 78.8 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
