Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (27 fifties, 3 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 40.7.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 93.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 137.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.82.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 84 × 30% · Bowling 75 × 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 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 3,193 runs in 92 innings, adjusted average 40.7, strike rate 93.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 140 wickets in 93 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 1.51 per match at 12.3, economy 2.82, strike rate 26.1.
