Too many aerial dismissals
13 of 18 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 17). 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: 1 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 17.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 7 wickets from 40.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 0.41 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
