Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

2 of 4 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 37.6.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 60 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 4 catches + 1 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.62 dismissals per match.
Batting
169 runs in 6 innings, adjusted average 37.6, strike rate 68.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
