Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.75 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 77 catches in 103 matches (0.75 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 17 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.36 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 33 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 42 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 103 matches — 0.48 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 106 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
16 wickets in 19 matches bowled in (of 103 played) — 0.16 per match at 13.7, economy 3.71, strike rate 22.1.
