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.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting 57 × 30% · Bowling 70 × 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 30). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 30 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 94 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 1,836 runs in 81 innings, adjusted average 25.2, strike rate 73.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 140 wickets in 83 matches bowled in (of 94 played) — 1.69 per match at 12.5, economy 3.35, strike rate 22.4.
