Critical recommendations
24 of 32 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.97 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 30 matches (0.97 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 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
- ×0.40 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 5 · 3rd grade 12 · 4th grade 10). 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: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 11 wickets from 67.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 0.37 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
