Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 30%. 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 1,533 runs in 79 innings, adjusted average 24.3, strike rate 78.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 136 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 1.70 per match at 13.9, economy 3.90, strike rate 21.4.
