Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 113.3) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 115.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 23 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting 36 × 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
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 19 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 663 runs in 27 innings, adjusted average 24.6, strike rate 113.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 22.0 overs across 5 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
