Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
50 of 62 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 30.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 153.
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 74 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 47 × 40% · Batting 83 × 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
- ×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 29 · Club 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 6 run outs (1 direct, 5 assisted) in 74 matches — 0.47 per match.
- Batting
- 1,929 runs in 69 innings, adjusted average 30.8, strike rate 76.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 6 wickets from 72.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 74 played) — 0.08 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
