Too many aerial dismissals
5 of 6 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 8). 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: 2 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 20.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 8 matches — 1.12 per match at 18.2, economy 4.26, strike rate 25.7.
