Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
19 of 23 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 23 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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
- 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 23 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 22.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 55.7 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.31 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
