Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

14 of 20 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.54 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 28 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 28). 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: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.54 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 24 innings at 25.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 29 wickets from 115.5 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
