Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 45.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
31 of 43 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.24 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.52 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 71 matches (0.52 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 37 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 13 run outs (8 direct, 5 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- 1,027 runs in 56 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 45.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 50.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.07 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
