Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

33 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 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding

  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 6 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting 64 × 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
×0.85 for the level played (1st grade 47). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Keeping: 23 catches + 6 stumpings + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.64 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,259 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 28.2, strike rate 92.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 0 wickets from 0.2 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
