Critical recommendations
11 of 15 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.53 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (29.2) beats batting average (25.1) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 15 matches (0.53 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.63 for the level played (1st grade 11 · Rep Div 1 2 · Club 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 377 runs in 15 innings, adjusted average 25.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.56 per match at 29.2, economy 4.70, strike rate 37.3.
