Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

12 of 15 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 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.58 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 19 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 19). 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: 9 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.63 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 15 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
15 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.15 per match at 19.9, economy 3.42, strike rate 35.0.
