Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.41 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 112.0) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 75 matches (0.41 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 7 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 51 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 75 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- 1,156 runs in 64 innings, adjusted average 20.9, strike rate 112.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 106 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 75 played) — 1.51 per match at 19.4, economy 3.46, strike rate 33.6.
