medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

165 of 219 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting 77 × 30% · Bowling 12 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.84 for the level played (1st grade 216 · Club 5). 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.
