Critical recommendations

high Bowling
Conceding too many extras

1.2 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
  • ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 40 × 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 12 run outs (2 direct, 10 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.43 per match.
Batting
910 runs in 59 innings, adjusted average 18.3, strike rate 70.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
30 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 0.54 per match at 26.5, economy 5.45, strike rate 29.2.
