Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

21 of 29 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 17% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 47 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.40 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 36 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
43 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.10 per match at 18.1, economy 4.12, strike rate 26.3.
