Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.17 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 29 matches (1.17 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting 50 × 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
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 15). 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: 33 catches + 6 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 1.34 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 648 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 58.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
