Boundary-or-block scoring pattern
76% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 20.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 12 matches — 0.92 per match at 23.3, economy 4.65, strike rate 30.0.
