Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 10% 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 (19 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.61 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 87 matches (0.61 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 60 × 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
- ×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 32 · 3rd grade 20 · 4th grade 35). 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: 53 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 2,277 runs in 96 innings, adjusted average 24.5, strike rate 55.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 17 wickets from 103.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 0.20 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
