Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 112 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 1,197 runs in 88 innings, adjusted average 17.9, strike rate 65.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 111 wickets in 106 matches bowled in (of 112 played) — 1.05 per match at 20.7, economy 3.59, strike rate 34.5.
