Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
27 of 37 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.71 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.71.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (2nd grade 22 · 3rd grade 11 · Club 11 · 4th grade 7). 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: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 1.32 per match at 19.1, economy 2.71, strike rate 42.3.
