Critical recommendations

high Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

45 of 77 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.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% 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 (10 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.21 dismissals per match across 122 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 30 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 20 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 122 matches — 0.19 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 107 innings at 23.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 18 wickets from 65.5 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 122 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
