Critical recommendations
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 6.02 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 53 catches in 145 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 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 145). 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: 53 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 145 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 133 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 145 played) — 0.29 per match at 38.0, economy 6.02, strike rate 37.9.
