Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
46 of 64 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (16 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.4.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 107.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 108.
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 74 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 30%. 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 2,303 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 35.4, strike rate 107.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 1.28 per match at 14.1, economy 3.85, strike rate 22.0.
