Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 12.7 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
27 of 37 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 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.45 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 47 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 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
- ×0.54 for the level played (2nd grade 23 · 3rd grade 20 · 4th grade 4). 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
- Keeping: 13 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.32 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 7.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
