Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
84 of 119 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 149.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 67 × 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
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 12 · 2nd grade 99 · 3rd grade 25 · 4th grade 2). 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: 46 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 138 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 3,283 runs in 133 innings, adjusted average 27.3, strike rate 67.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 9.5 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 138 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
