Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 57 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 876 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 21.4, strike rate 78.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.24 per match at 21.1, economy 4.96, strike rate 25.5.
