Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 38 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 36 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 19 · Club 4). 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: 13 catches + 4 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.47 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 760 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 18.4, strike rate 49.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.50 per match at 17.5, economy 3.46, strike rate 30.4.
