Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
5 of 7 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 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
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 13). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 1.21 per match at 14.4, economy 3.29, strike rate 26.2.
