Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 4% of 50+ scores become hundreds (24 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 10 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 61 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 183 matches — 0.35 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 200 innings at 23.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 2 wickets from 24.0 overs across 10 matches bowled in (of 183 played) — 0.01 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
