high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 115.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting 48 × 30% · Bowling 35 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.10 per match.
Batting
322 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 19.6, strike rate 54.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
6 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.55 per match at 31.8, economy 5.46, strike rate 35.0.
