Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (5 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.0.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.95.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.

- Outfield: 11 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- 705 runs in 29 innings, adjusted average 31.0, strike rate 67.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.21 per match at 15.3, economy 2.95, strike rate 31.2.
