Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 34.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 13% 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 20 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 1 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 6). 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
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 20.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 4.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
