Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% 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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.79 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.90 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.1.
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 41 matches (0.90 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 40% · Batting 49 × 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
- ×0.33 for the level played (State competition 4 · Club 37). 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: 26 catches + 9 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.85 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,048 runs in 40 innings, adjusted average 30.1, strike rate 54.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 98.2 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.29 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
