Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.27 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 56 catches in 44 matches (1.27 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (1st grade 10 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 4). 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: 51 catches + 4 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 1.25 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 21.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
