Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

26 of 36 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 3.48 is excellent but a wicket every 55 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.4.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 138.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.48.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 52 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.77 for the level played (1st grade 36 · 2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 1). 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: 22 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
1,387 runs in 47 innings, adjusted average 36.4, strike rate 70.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
50 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 1.09 per match at 31.7, economy 3.48, strike rate 54.6.
