Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 58.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.59 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 39 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 4 · Club 23 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 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
- Outfield: 19 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.55 per match at 32.9, economy 4.25, strike rate 46.5.
