Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Too many aerial dismissals

32 of 44 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

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 123.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 56 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.66 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · 3rd grade 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 24 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.54 per match.
Batting
1,302 runs in 51 innings, adjusted average 29.0, strike rate 68.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
40 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.21 per match at 22.7, economy 3.47, strike rate 39.3.
