Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
5 of 9 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 40.7.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 92.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 171.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 22 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 379 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 40.7, strike rate 92.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 5 wickets in 10 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 0.50 per match at 55.4, economy 4.34, strike rate 76.6.
