- ● Body of work — 43 imported matches (+0.9)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 50.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
19 of 37 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.
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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 43 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 8 · Rep Div 1 8 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 18 · 4th grade 3 · 5th grade and below 4). 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: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 19.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.17 per match at 19.1, economy 3.23, strike rate 35.5.
