Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.5 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
7 of 10 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 3 · 4th grade 1). 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: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 9.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 18.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 10 played) — 0.40 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
