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
- ✓ Safe hands — 33 catches in 85 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 43 × 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
- ×0.57 for the level played (Rep Div 1 28 · Club 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 50 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 7 run outs (3 direct, 4 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 1,226 runs in 71 innings, adjusted average 20.2, strike rate 68.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 11 wickets from 44.3 overs across 16 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
