Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
56 of 74 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (20 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.64 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 35.9.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 136.
- ✓ Safe hands — 50 catches in 78 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 11 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 79 × 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 2 3 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 38 catches + 11 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.64 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 2,675 runs in 81 innings, adjusted average 35.9, strike rate 72.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 21.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
