Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.1.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.04.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.85 for the level played (National competition 8 · 1st grade 136 · 2nd grade 1 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 49 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 148 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 118 innings at 22.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
331 wickets in 132 matches bowled in (of 148 played) — 2.51 per match at 14.1, economy 3.04, strike rate 27.8.
