Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.5 over 59 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 59 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 24 · Club 21 · 4th grade 6). 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: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 59 innings at 14.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.22 per match at 18.6, economy 4.02, strike rate 27.8.
