Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 51.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.37 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 63 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 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
- ×0.25 for the level played (4th grade 16 · 5th grade and below 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 22 catches + 1 stumpings + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.40 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 21.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 11.7 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.05 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
