Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
7 of 10 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 39.9.
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 19 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 51 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 19). 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: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 480 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 39.9, strike rate 77.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 54.7 overs across 12 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.75 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
