Too many aerial dismissals
16 of 22 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
1.30 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 132.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 23 matches (1.30 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 79 × 40% · Batting 66 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 26 catches + 2 stumpings + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 23 matches — 1.35 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 683 runs in 24 innings, adjusted average 30.8, strike rate 81.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
