Critical recommendations
Only 0.10 catches per match over 42 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
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.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 29). 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 42 matches — 0.10 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 16.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 19.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
