Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 42.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
26 of 34 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.91 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 34 matches (0.91 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 99 × 40% · Batting 39 × 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
- ×0.44 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 2nd grade 13 · 3rd grade 16 · 4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 28 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.97 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 742 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 21.5, strike rate 42.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 2.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
