Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 49.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
15 of 17 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 22 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 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
- ×0.68 for the level played (Rep Div 1 15 · Club 7). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 6.7 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
