Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 39.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 52 catches in 82 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 65). 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: 35 catches + 6 stumpings + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.57 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 77 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 18 wickets from 118.0 overs across 34 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.53 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
