Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
17 of 24 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 54 × 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
- ×0.47 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 549 runs in 26 innings, adjusted average 22.7, strike rate 68.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 4.0 overs across 2 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
