Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% 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 (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.2.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 59 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 52 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 25 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.47 per match.
Batting
1,114 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 25.4, strike rate 68.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
71 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.34 per match at 15.2, economy 4.15, strike rate 21.9.
