Critical recommendations

medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Only 13% of 50+ scores become hundreds (27 fifties, 4 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.

info Fielding

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

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 43.2.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 120.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 42 catches in 90 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 63 × 40% · Batting 70 × 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
×0.34 for the level played (2nd grade 5 · Club 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 41 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 42 catches + 7 run outs (4 direct, 3 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.54 per match.
Batting
3,248 runs in 88 innings, adjusted average 43.2, strike rate 81.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
