Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
28 of 37 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.46 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 39 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 55 × 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
- ×0.47 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 7 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 21 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.49 per match.
- Batting
- 767 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 20.7, strike rate 79.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 48.0 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
