Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

39 of 52 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 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.38 is excellent but a wicket every 54 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 109.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 36 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 34 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 20 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 68 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
1,341 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 25.6, strike rate 88.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
62 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 68 played) — 1.11 per match at 30.6, economy 3.38, strike rate 54.2.
