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
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 27% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.8.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 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 9). 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
Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.44 per match.
Batting
309 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 35.8, strike rate 74.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
16 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 2.00 per match at 18.4, economy 3.82, strike rate 28.9.
