Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 5% of 50+ scores become hundreds (19 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.8.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 67 catches in 193 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 30 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 67 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 193 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 188 innings at 21.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
284 wickets in 173 matches bowled in (of 193 played) — 1.64 per match at 17.8, economy 4.23, strike rate 25.2.
