Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.49 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.68 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 63 catches in 92 matches (0.68 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Sharp glovework — 8 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 37 catches + 8 stumpings + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 92 matches — 0.54 dismissals per match.
Batting
1,776 runs in 84 innings, adjusted average 24.2, strike rate 68.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
