Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 40.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 59 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 10 stumpings.
- 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
- ×0.62 for the level played (1st grade 2 · Rep Div 1 25 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 10 · Club 5). 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: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 32.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
