Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% 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 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 119.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 66 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 28 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 42 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 1,519 runs in 57 innings, adjusted average 29.5, strike rate 89.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 30 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 0.83 per match at 17.3, economy 3.81, strike rate 27.3.
