Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

5 of 10 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 10 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 69 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 4 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
Batting
365 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 36.2, strike rate 65.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
