Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
72 of 97 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 12 · Club 106). 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: 39 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 122 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 118 innings at 20.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 242 wickets in 116 matches bowled in (of 122 played) — 2.09 per match at 15.4, economy 3.77, strike rate 24.6.
