Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 54.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
33 of 43 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 54 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 54). 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
- Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 22.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.20 per match at 23.5, economy 4.27, strike rate 33.0.
