Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.44 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 26 × 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 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 73 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 253 matches — 0.32 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 247 innings at 16.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
234 wickets in 230 matches bowled in (of 253 played) — 1.02 per match at 24.3, economy 3.44, strike rate 42.3.
