Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 14.1 over 14 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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.
0.69 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 16 matches (0.69 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 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
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 10 · 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
- Keeping: 10 catches + 0 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.75 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 29.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
