- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 36.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
19 of 32 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
0.18 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (2nd grade 9 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 12). 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: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 19.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 14.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
