Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 8.7 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
1.11 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 28 matches (1.11 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 94 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 1 · 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
- Keeping: 30 catches + 4 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 1.21 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.7 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
