Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% 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 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 104.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.43.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 29 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 42 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 178 matches — 0.27 per match.
Batting
2,871 runs in 163 innings, adjusted average 20.3, strike rate 76.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
217 wickets in 161 matches bowled in (of 178 played) — 1.35 per match at 17.2, economy 3.43, strike rate 30.1.
