Critical recommendations

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.

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.92 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.63 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 34.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 35 catches in 56 matches (0.63 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 69 × 30% · Bowling 60 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 38 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 35 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.66 per match.
Batting
1,517 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 34.0, strike rate 69.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
57 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 1.27 per match at 19.6, economy 2.92, strike rate 40.2.
