Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (6 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 8 catches + 5 stumpings + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 32 matches — 0.50 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 23.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 13.0 overs across 3 matches bowled in (of 32 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
