Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 41.0 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.05.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling 69 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (National competition 4 · State competition 11 · Rep Div 1 19 · Club 91). 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: 41 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 125 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 2,861 runs in 107 innings, adjusted average 41.0, strike rate 76.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 93 wickets in 103 matches bowled in (of 125 played) — 0.90 per match at 10.8, economy 3.05, strike rate 21.2.
