Critical recommendations
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 36.0.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 103.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 115.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 54 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 9 stumpings.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 86 × 30% · Bowling 33 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.43 for the level played (State competition 3 · Rep Div 1 7 · Club 30). 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: 20 catches + 9 stumpings + 8 run outs (0 direct, 8 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.69 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- 1,189 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 36.0, strike rate 103.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.22 per match at 12.4, economy 3.29, strike rate 22.6.
