Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
16 of 22 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 92.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.70.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 72 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 30 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 752 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 33.0, strike rate 92.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 30 played) — 1.91 per match at 11.2, economy 2.70, strike rate 24.8.
