Critical recommendations
high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.7 over 96 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
59 of 82 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting 47 × 30% · Bowling 22 × 30%. 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 (2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 13 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 118 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 1,234 runs in 96 innings, adjusted average 14.7, strike rate 55.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 85 matches bowled in (of 118 played) — 0.79 per match at 26.4, economy 3.99, strike rate 39.7.
