Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

6 of 6 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.92 is excellent but a wicket every 75 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 43.4.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 121.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 39 × 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 6). 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: 1 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.17 per match.
Batting
266 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 43.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 25.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 6 played) — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
