Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
25 of 35 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 65 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (National competition 6 · Rep Div 1 7 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 10 run outs (3 direct, 7 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.54 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 20.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 94 wickets in 60 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 1.57 per match at 14.2, economy 3.29, strike rate 26.0.
