Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 55.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
20 of 28 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.22 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 50 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (State competition 14 · 1st grade 5 · Rep Div 1 8 · Club 23). 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: 10 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 19.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.54 per match at 14.6, economy 2.93, strike rate 30.0.
