Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 59.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
29 of 36 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
1.21 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 64 catches in 53 matches (1.21 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 12 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 93 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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
- ×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 7 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 61 catches + 12 stumpings + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 53 matches — 1.43 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 859 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 22.9, strike rate 59.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
