Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
21 of 26 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 180.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 85 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 24 · 2nd grade 1). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 936 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 35.8, strike rate 78.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
