Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

15 of 21 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 21 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting 49 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 6 catches + 0 stumpings + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.38 dismissals per match.
Batting
439 runs in 21 innings, adjusted average 20.9, strike rate 81.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 3 wickets from 3.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 21 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
