Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 52.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 10% 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.41 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.48 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 54 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 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
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 20 catches + 2 stumpings + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 16.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 27.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
