Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.76.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 41 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 18 · Club 5 · 4th grade 6). 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: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.03 per match at 23.5, economy 3.76, strike rate 37.5.
