Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
medium
Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds
Only 10% of 50+ scores become hundreds (9 fifties, 1 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 96.7) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 110.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 56 × 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
- ×0.34 for the level played (1st grade 15 · 2nd grade 2 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 52 · 4th grade 4 · 5th grade and below 22). 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: 26 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 96 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- 2,052 runs in 103 innings, adjusted average 21.7, strike rate 96.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 57.8 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 96 played) — 0.14 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
