Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

13 of 16 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 20 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 69 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.65 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 19 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
28 wickets in 20 matches — 1.40 per match at 22.5, economy 4.70, strike rate 28.7.
