medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
13 of 18 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 91 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 1,100 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 59.1, strike rate 94.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 21 matches — 1.95 per match at 11.0, economy 2.76, strike rate 23.8.
