medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (17 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 93 catches in 197 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 197). 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: 93 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 197 matches — 0.52 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 184 innings at 22.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
275 wickets in 193 matches bowled in (of 197 played) — 1.42 per match at 17.3, economy 3.15, strike rate 33.0.
