- ● Body of work — 15 imported matches (+0.3)
Critical recommendations
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.66 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
0.40 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 43.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.66.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 15 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 79 × 30% · Bowling 47 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 378 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 43.7, strike rate 88.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.08 per match at 25.6, economy 3.66, strike rate 42.0.
