Critical recommendations
17 of 23 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 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 13 catches in 23 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting 43 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (State competition 4 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.65 per match.
- Batting
- 564 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 24.0, strike rate 67.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.11 per match at 20.8, economy 4.12, strike rate 30.3.
