- ● Division 1 representative (+4)
- ● Regional representative — 4 matches (+0.6)
- ● Body of work — 48 imported matches (+1.0)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 48.5 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
0.42 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 48 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Club 44 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 20 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 27.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 25 wickets from 112.0 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.19 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
