Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

7 of 8 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 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 64.5.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 129.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 11 matches (0.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 86 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.64 per match.
Batting
557 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 64.5, strike rate 67.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
