Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
34 of 48 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 44 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 102 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 23.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 116 wickets in 87 matches bowled in (of 102 played) — 1.33 per match at 25.7, economy 3.91, strike rate 39.4.
