Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.8.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 112.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 39 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting 84 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 14 · 4th grade 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- 1,061 runs in 38 innings, adjusted average 33.8, strike rate 112.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
