Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 14% of 50+ scores become hundreds (12 fifties, 2 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 104.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting 55 × 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
- ×0.35 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · 2nd grade 16 · 3rd grade 47 · Club 15 · 4th grade 37 · 5th grade and below 17). 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: 43 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 134 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 2,800 runs in 140 innings, adjusted average 21.3, strike rate 80.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 15.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 134 played) — 0.04 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
