Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 133 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 28 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 133 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 101 innings at 21.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 191 wickets in 124 matches bowled in (of 133 played) — 1.54 per match at 17.5, economy 3.94, strike rate 26.6.
