Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (20 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

info General
Bowling currently the stronger suit

Bowling average (27.5) beats batting average (26.2) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 106.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 77 catches in 164 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 59 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 8 · Rep Div 1 8 · Club 145 · 4th grade 3). 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: 76 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 164 matches — 0.51 per match.
Batting
3,956 runs in 168 innings, adjusted average 26.2, strike rate 72.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
71 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 164 played) — 0.96 per match at 27.5, economy 4.16, strike rate 39.7.
