Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

8 of 9 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

medium Batting
Boundary-or-block scoring pattern

71% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.42 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.3.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 12 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 57 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 12 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 4 catches + 1 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
Batting
294 runs in 10 innings, adjusted average 32.3, strike rate 65.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 3.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
