Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Too many aerial dismissals
53 of 75 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 2 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 88 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 57 wickets from 284.7 overs across 68 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 0.84 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
