Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
13 of 17 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 19.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 71 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.54 per match at 14.1, economy 3.46, strike rate 24.4.
