Strike rate of 39.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 29 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 29). 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: 14 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.55 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 8.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
