Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 18 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 4 wickets from 22.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.22 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
