medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
6 of 8 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
0.41 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 12.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.63.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 22 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 6 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 21 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.24 per match at 12.3, economy 3.63, strike rate 20.3.
