Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.76 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 55 catches in 72 matches (0.76 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 13 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 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
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 40 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 27). 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: 43 catches + 13 stumpings + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.81 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 17.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 26.8 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.11 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
