Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 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 72). 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: 22 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 16.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.85 per match at 28.9, economy 4.59, strike rate 37.8.
