Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
46 of 59 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.60 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 11.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 41 catches in 68 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 75 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 70 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 41 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.68 per match.
- Batting
- 1,130 runs in 70 innings, adjusted average 18.7, strike rate 85.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 47 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.21 per match at 11.1, economy 3.60, strike rate 18.5.
