Critical recommendations
26 of 36 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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.

- Batting
- 981 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 26.5, strike rate 84.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
