Critical recommendations
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Economy of 3.73 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Bowling average (26.1) beats batting average (21.0) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.73.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 53 × 30% · Bowling 43 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 1,309 runs in 72 innings, adjusted average 21.0, strike rate 82.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 64 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 0.86 per match at 26.1, economy 3.73, strike rate 41.9.
