Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

38 of 53 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 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.22 dismissals per match across 59 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.9.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.40.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 59). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.22 per match.
Batting
1,516 runs in 62 innings, adjusted average 28.0, strike rate 81.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
77 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.67 per match at 14.9, economy 2.40, strike rate 37.1.
