Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 5% of 50+ scores become hundreds (20 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 156.
- ✓ Safe hands — 48 catches in 127 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (State competition 2 · Rep Div 1 44 · Club 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 56 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 38 catches + 8 run outs (4 direct, 4 assisted) in 127 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 2,897 runs in 125 innings, adjusted average 26.5, strike rate 77.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 31 wickets from 92.7 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 127 played) — 0.24 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
