Critical recommendations
9 of 12 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 29% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 12 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 51 × 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
- ×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 12). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 258 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 21.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 7.8 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
