Critical recommendations

high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 14.8 over 160 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

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.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.56.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 51 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 54 catches + 7 run outs (5 direct, 2 assisted) in 181 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
1,785 runs in 160 innings, adjusted average 14.9, strike rate 64.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
290 wickets in 162 matches bowled in (of 181 played) — 1.79 per match at 16.2, economy 2.56, strike rate 37.9.
