Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 20% 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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.20 dismissals per match across 66 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.62.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.56 for the level played (2nd grade 20 · 3rd grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 25 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.20 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 64 innings at 16.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
83 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 1.43 per match at 22.5, economy 3.62, strike rate 37.2.
