Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% 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 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (18 fifties, 3 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 61 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Keeping: 59 catches + 15 stumpings + 14 run outs (7 direct, 7 assisted) in 175 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
Batting
3,946 runs in 178 innings, adjusted average 24.3, strike rate 89.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
Not rated: 6 wickets from 15.0 overs across 7 matches bowled in (of 175 played) — 0.03 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
