Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 46 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 119.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting 57 × 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
- ×0.25 for the level played (3rd grade 1 · Club 19 · 4th grade 10 · 5th grade and below 16). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- 963 runs in 45 innings, adjusted average 22.8, strike rate 77.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 49.7 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 0.17 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
