Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 61.5 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 (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.68 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 31 matches (0.68 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · 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
- ×0.56 for the level played (State competition 2 · 1st grade 13 · Rep Div 1 3 · Rep Div 2 1 · Club 12). 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: 16 catches + 4 stumpings + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.74 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 819 runs in 33 innings, adjusted average 26.3, strike rate 61.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 18.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.23 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
