Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 128 catches in 319 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 30 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 34 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.74 for the level played (National competition 86 · State competition 9 · 1st grade 116 · Rep Div 1 31 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 70). 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: 127 catches + 30 run outs (30 direct, 0 assisted) in 319 matches — 0.49 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 253 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
354 wickets in 267 matches bowled in (of 319 played) — 1.33 per match at 29.0, economy 4.44, strike rate 39.2.
