Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

22 of 29 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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.9.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 111.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 80 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.83 for the level played (1st grade 24 · 2nd grade 7 · 3rd 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: 5 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
969 runs in 33 innings, adjusted average 32.9, strike rate 69.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
6 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.19 per match at 24.5, economy 3.90, strike rate 37.7.
