Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

17 of 33 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

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

0.45 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 17.3.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.68.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 51 matches (0.45 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 49). 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: 23 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.49 per match.
Batting
729 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 21.6, strike rate 89.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
80 wickets in 51 matches — 1.57 per match at 17.3, economy 2.68, strike rate 38.9.
