Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
65 of 88 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 12% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.67.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 15 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 43 catches + 15 run outs (7 direct, 8 assisted) in 156 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 112 innings at 22.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 213 wickets in 154 matches bowled in (of 156 played) — 1.38 per match at 18.4, economy 3.67, strike rate 30.1.
