- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
19 of 26 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 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.76 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
