Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% 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 (13 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.59 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 13.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.67.
- ✓ Safe hands — 80 catches in 135 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 64 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 11 · Club 124). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 76 catches + 10 run outs (10 direct, 0 assisted) in 135 matches — 0.64 per match.
- Batting
- 2,299 runs in 116 innings, adjusted average 24.9, strike rate 70.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 135 played) — 0.92 per match at 13.7, economy 2.67, strike rate 30.9.
