Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
51 of 68 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 56 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 1,322 runs in 74 innings, adjusted average 19.3, strike rate 79.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 12 wickets from 52.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
