Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

6 of 7 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 30% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.84.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 11 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 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
Rated on the last 8 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.45 per match.
Batting
133 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 17.3, strike rate 73.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
20 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 2.00 per match at 10.6, economy 2.84, strike rate 22.4.
