Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 39.5 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 101.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 57 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 8 run outs (3 direct, 5 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- 1,389 runs in 52 innings, adjusted average 39.6, strike rate 101.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.68 per match at 23.4, economy 4.88, strike rate 28.7.
