Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 100.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 56 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 59 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 12 run outs (2 direct, 10 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- 1,030 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 25.9, strike rate 100.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.28 per match at 13.6, economy 3.84, strike rate 21.3.
