Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

6 of 8 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.38 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.4.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 13 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 36 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 13 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 5 catches + 0 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.46 dismissals per match.
Batting
270 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 32.4, strike rate 76.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
4 wickets in 6 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 0.67 per match at 38.0, economy 5.40, strike rate 42.3.
