Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 56.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 67 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (3rd grade 2 · Club 12 · 4th grade 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 41 catches + 3 stumpings + 7 run outs (2 direct, 5 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.76 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 65 innings at 22.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 13.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
