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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.94 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.80 for the level played (State competition 6 · 1st grade 69 · Rep Div 1 46 · 2nd grade 11 · Club 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 43 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 151 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 127 innings at 17.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
139 wickets in 133 matches bowled in (of 151 played) — 1.05 per match at 27.3, economy 3.94, strike rate 41.5.
