Critical recommendations
0.50 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 178.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.

- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 84 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (1st grade 12 · Club 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.

- Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.54 per match.
