Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (26 fifties, 4 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Scores quickly (SR 102.9) without sacrificing consistency.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 130.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 71 catches in 190 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 84 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 71 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 190 matches — 0.37 per match.
Batting
4,610 runs in 184 innings, adjusted average 28.7, strike rate 102.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 240 wickets from 1036.5 overs across 125 matches bowled in (of 190 played) — 1.92 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
