Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 37.9 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.48 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.
0.56 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 36 catches in 64 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 14 · Club 16 · 4th grade 26). 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
- Keeping: 26 catches + 5 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.48 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 64 innings at 20.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 2.8 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
