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 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 43 × 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 102 innings at 22.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 0.22 per match at 24.5, economy 5.36, strike rate 27.4.
