Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
31 of 44 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 (4 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 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · Club 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 18.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 1.07 per match at 19.5, economy 4.50, strike rate 26.0.
