Critical recommendations
mediumBatting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.35.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.47 for the level played (State competition 5 · Rep Div 1 10 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 48 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 36 catches + 6 run outs (4 direct, 2 assisted) in 142 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 119 innings at 18.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
94 wickets in 130 matches bowled in (of 142 played) — 0.72 per match at 16.1, economy 3.35, strike rate 28.9.
