Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (46 fifties, 5 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 167.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 115 catches in 268 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 25 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 79 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 15 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 115 catches + 25 run outs (23 direct, 2 assisted) in 268 matches — 0.52 per match.
Batting
7,207 runs in 277 innings, adjusted average 28.8, strike rate 69.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
98 wickets in 126 matches bowled in (of 268 played) — 0.78 per match at 30.1, economy 5.26, strike rate 34.4.
