Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
28 of 39 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 34.8.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 128.4) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 129.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 84 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 8 run outs (2 direct, 6 assisted) in 51 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 1,418 runs in 49 innings, adjusted average 34.8, strike rate 128.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 11.2 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 51 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
