Critical recommendations

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 14% 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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 73 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 29 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.44 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 52 innings at 20.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
102 wickets in 70 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 1.46 per match at 16.5, economy 3.91, strike rate 25.4.
