Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 13% 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 (14 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 9 · 2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 50 catches + 10 run outs (9 direct, 1 assisted) in 200 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 135 innings at 22.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
216 wickets in 178 matches bowled in (of 200 played) — 1.21 per match at 20.5, economy 3.87, strike rate 31.8.
