Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.21 is excellent but a wicket every 49 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 171.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 53 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 58 × 30% · Bowling 42 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (3rd grade 23 · 4th grade 5 · 5th grade and below 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,552 runs in 53 innings, adjusted average 31.5, strike rate 78.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.00 per match at 26.3, economy 3.21, strike rate 49.2.
