Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
3 of 4 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 42.0 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.48.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 63 × 30% · Bowling 72 × 30%. 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 224 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 42.0, strike rate 73.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 19 matches — 1.58 per match at 10.5, economy 2.48, strike rate 25.4.
