Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 5% of 50+ scores become hundreds (18 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

medium Fielding
Keeping dismissal rate below par

0.08 keeping dismissals (WK catches + stumpings) per match. Work standing-up takes and leg-side stumpings — the fastest way for a keeper to add value.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

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

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 71 × 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
×0.30 for the level played (Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 23 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 49 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 144 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
3,183 runs in 147 innings, adjusted average 23.1, strike rate 118.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 33.0 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 144 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
