Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (11 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 36 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 119 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 106 innings at 19.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 98 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 119 played) — 1.40 per match at 16.1, economy 4.23, strike rate 22.8.
