Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 53.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% 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 (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 28 catches in 54 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 2 × 40% · Batting 58 × 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
- ×0.65 for the level played (1st grade 6 · 2nd grade 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 15 catches + 6 stumpings + 10 run outs (3 direct, 7 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.57 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,114 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 25.1, strike rate 53.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
