Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (13 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 35.4.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting 64 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.58 for the level played (State competition 6 · Rep Div 1 18 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 44 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 20 catches + 9 run outs (7 direct, 2 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.38 per match.
Batting
1,665 runs in 64 innings, adjusted average 35.4, strike rate 67.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 18 wickets from 105.7 overs across 36 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 0.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
