Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 61 catches in 133 matches (0.46 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 20 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 69 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 2 · 3rd grade 8 · Club 26 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 43 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 61 catches + 20 run outs (12 direct, 8 assisted) in 133 matches — 0.61 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 120 innings at 18.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
84 wickets in 107 matches bowled in (of 133 played) — 0.79 per match at 20.9, economy 4.51, strike rate 27.7.
