Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 11% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 52 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 27.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 6.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 52 played) — 0.02 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
