Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

46 of 57 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.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.46 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 15.7.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.26.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 50 catches in 108 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · 2nd grade 2 · Club 7 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 50 catches + 13 run outs (7 direct, 6 assisted) in 108 matches — 0.58 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 73 innings at 20.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
163 wickets in 104 matches bowled in (of 108 played) — 1.57 per match at 15.7, economy 3.26, strike rate 28.8.
