Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% 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 (13 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 44 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 132 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 118 innings at 25.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
142 wickets in 113 matches bowled in (of 132 played) — 1.26 per match at 18.0, economy 3.92, strike rate 27.5.
