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.

Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 8% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 123.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.99.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.36 for the level played (State competition 7 · Rep Div 1 41 · Rep Div 2 6 · Club 105 · 4th grade 36 · 5th grade and below 30). 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: 77 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 225 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 3,077 runs in 185 innings, adjusted average 19.4, strike rate 65.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 178 wickets in 169 matches bowled in (of 225 played) — 1.05 per match at 16.4, economy 2.99, strike rate 32.9.
