Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

23 of 43 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 25% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 144.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 46 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 51 × 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 (3rd grade 11 · Club 11 · 4th grade 15 · 5th grade and below 9). 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: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.41 per match.
Batting
1,221 runs in 48 innings, adjusted average 28.1, strike rate 83.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 8 wickets from 36.0 overs across 8 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
