Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.45 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.48 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 33 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 36 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · 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: 12 catches + 3 stumpings + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.58 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 387 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 17.8, strike rate 55.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.73 per match at 12.5, economy 3.99, strike rate 18.7.
