Critical recommendations
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.23 dismissals per match across 35 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 45.8.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 133.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 81 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.47 for the level played (2nd grade 8 · 3rd grade 7 · Club 1 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- 1,257 runs in 31 innings, adjusted average 45.8, strike rate 133.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.00 per match at 22.2, economy 3.40, strike rate 39.1.
