Critical recommendations
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (7 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Bowling average (28.8) beats batting average (26.6) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 75 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.71 for the level played (1st grade 29 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 39 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 30 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- 1,558 runs in 68 innings, adjusted average 26.6, strike rate 79.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 0.97 per match at 28.8, economy 5.02, strike rate 34.4.
