Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.48 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 27 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 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
- ×0.71 for the level played (State competition 4 · 1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 15 · Club 7). 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
- Keeping: 11 catches + 2 stumpings + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.70 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 23.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
