Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 42.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 39 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.76 for the level played (1st grade 23 · 2nd grade 8 · Club 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.89 per match at 26.2, economy 4.29, strike rate 36.6.
