Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 47.7 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.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 36 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 68 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 18 · 2nd grade 9 · 4th grade 5). 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: 20 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- 819 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 25.7, strike rate 47.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 38.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
