Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

32 of 44 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.49 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.85.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 76 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 56 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling 75 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 76). 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
Outfield: 37 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.49 per match.
Batting
1,308 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 25.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
114 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 1.68 per match at 12.0, economy 2.85, strike rate 25.3.
