Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 27.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.77 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 26 matches (0.77 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 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 24 · 4th grade 2). 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: 12 catches + 2 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.58 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 21.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 10 wickets from 62.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
