Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
19 of 27 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.49 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 39 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 30). 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: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 23.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.39 per match at 10.4, economy 2.95, strike rate 21.2.
