Critical recommendations
info
General
No critical flags

- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 143.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 40% · Batting 78 × 30% · 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
- ×0.36 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 18 · Club 8 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 2,891 runs in 83 innings, adjusted average 38.2, strike rate 66.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 47 wickets from 239.0 overs across 46 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
