Critical recommendations
36 of 49 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.55 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
- ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 64 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (State competition 3 · 1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 24 · Club 31 · 5th grade and below 2). 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: 35 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.61 per match.
- Batting
- 1,184 runs in 61 innings, adjusted average 23.2, strike rate 74.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 1.21 per match at 15.7, economy 3.53, strike rate 26.8.
