Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
39 of 54 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 102 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.62 for the level played (Rep Div 1 31 · 2nd grade 3 · Club 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 50 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 40 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 102 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 73 innings at 20.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 91 wickets in 98 matches bowled in (of 102 played) — 0.93 per match at 24.7, economy 4.43, strike rate 33.4.
