Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
11 of 14 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting 32 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 20). 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
- Keeping: 4 catches + 2 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.30 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 231 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 15.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 14.2 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.25 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
