Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
44 of 61 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 — 2 hundred(s), best of 108.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 77 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- 1,610 runs in 69 innings, adjusted average 26.0, strike rate 88.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 3.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
