Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

10 of 12 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 36% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.1.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 12 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 14 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
16 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.45 per match at 13.1, economy 3.34, strike rate 23.5.
