Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 15% 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 (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 99.6) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 56 × 30% · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.42 for the level played (1st grade 1 · Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 15 · 3rd grade 15 · 4th grade 13 · 5th grade and below 2). 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: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 878 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 22.0, strike rate 99.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.21 per match at 23.7, economy 3.85, strike rate 37.0.
