Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 38.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.65 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 81 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 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
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 30 · Rep Div 2 10 · Club 40 · 4th grade 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: 34 catches + 9 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.54 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 61 innings at 17.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 33.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
