Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.32 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 50 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 37). 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 + 3 stumpings + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.48 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.49 per match at 21.8, economy 4.05, strike rate 32.3.
