high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

17 of 26 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 23 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.44 per match.
Batting
644 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 23.9, strike rate 69.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
33 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 1.43 per match at 15.7, economy 3.86, strike rate 24.4.
