Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

16 of 21 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

0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Scores quickly (SR 98.4) without sacrificing consistency.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 176.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 19 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (1st grade 18 · 2nd grade 1). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.42 per match.

574 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 98.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
38 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 2.11 per match at 18.1, economy 3.15, strike rate 34.5.
