Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 74 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.30 per match at 18.7, economy 4.42, strike rate 25.4.
