Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 35.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
46 of 64 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.70 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 44 catches in 63 matches (0.70 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 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
- ×0.53 for the level played (1st grade 14 · 2nd grade 40 · 3rd grade 5 · 4th grade 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: 44 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 63 matches — 0.71 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 28.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 14.5 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 63 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
