- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 4.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
29 of 41 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 17% 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 — 22 catches in 48 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 48). 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: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 20.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
