Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 34 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (State competition 4 · Rep Div 1 9 · 2nd grade 3 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 55 · 4th grade 1). 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: 19 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 1,641 runs in 70 innings, adjusted average 27.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 235 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 3.18 per match at 13.6, economy 3.41, strike rate 24.0.
