Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
24 of 30 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 39 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 39). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 21.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 39 matches — 1.33 per match at 16.5, economy 3.60, strike rate 27.6.
