Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 14 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

info General
Small sample size

Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.1.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 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 (3rd grade 2 · Club 8 · 4th grade 3 · 5th grade and below 1). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 14 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 4 innings at 6.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
21 wickets in 14 matches — 1.50 per match at 15.1, economy 3.97, strike rate 22.8.
