Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

29 of 39 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

0.41 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 10.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.95.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 58 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 24 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.41 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 50 innings at 22.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
85 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.77 per match at 10.9, economy 2.95, strike rate 22.2.
