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.
27 of 37 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.51 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 51 matches (0.51 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 20 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (2nd grade 21 · 3rd grade 9 · Club 6 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 19.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 41 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.95 per match at 28.5, economy 4.04, strike rate 42.4.
