Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
- ✓ Safe hands — 49 catches in 132 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 48 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 132 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 99 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 168 wickets in 110 matches bowled in (of 132 played) — 1.53 per match at 17.0, economy 3.59, strike rate 28.3.
