Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

22 of 30 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 42 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 121.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 48 × 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
×0.74 for the level played (1st grade 16 · Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 20 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.21 per match.
Batting
894 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 28.7, strike rate 81.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 5 wickets from 21.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.12 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
