Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 31.2 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.
0.75 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 16 matches (0.75 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 8 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.62 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.44 per match at 21.7, economy 5.01, strike rate 26.0.
