Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 50.2.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 152.1) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 143.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting 47 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 5 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 321 runs in 8 innings, adjusted average 50.2, strike rate 152.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 28.0 overs across 6 matches bowled in (of 8 played) — 1.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
