Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 7.59 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 9% of 50+ scores become hundreds (10 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 109.5) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 82 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 52 × 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 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 1,724 runs in 74 innings, adjusted average 25.2, strike rate 109.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.94 per match at 28.0, economy 7.59, strike rate 22.1.
