Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 64.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
1.04 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 51 matches (1.04 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 14 run outs.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (3rd grade 14 · Club 16 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 33 catches + 9 stumpings + 14 run outs (6 direct, 8 assisted) in 51 matches — 1.10 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 21.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 54.5 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
