Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

26 of 36 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 14% 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

0.59 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 13.4.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.86.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 45 catches in 76 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 23 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 44 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.62 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 51 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
125 wickets in 71 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 1.76 per match at 13.4, economy 2.86, strike rate 28.0.
