Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% 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 (4 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- 1,065 runs in 76 innings, adjusted average 17.2, strike rate 82.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 104 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 1.42 per match at 19.0, economy 3.34, strike rate 34.2.
