- ● Regional representative — 8 matches (+1.2)
- ● Body of work — 13 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 60.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
5 of 6 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.77 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 13 matches (1.77 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 78 × 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
- ×0.72 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 5). 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: 18 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 1.46 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 19.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 9.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
