Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

139 of 187 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

info Fielding

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 57 × 40% · Batting 94 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 44 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 112 catches + 5 run outs (4 direct, 1 assisted) in 211 matches — 0.55 per match.
Batting
7,375 runs in 210 innings, adjusted average 39.0, strike rate 97.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
316 wickets in 199 matches bowled in (of 211 played) — 1.59 per match at 17.3, economy 3.74, strike rate 27.7.
