Critical recommendations
Out for 0 in 22% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Only 0% of 50+ scores become hundreds (8 fifties, 0 hundreds). Practise batting in long blocks and resetting targets at 50.
Strengths
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 115.8) without sacrificing consistency.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting 70 × 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
- ×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 22 · Rep Div 1 5 · 2nd grade 6). 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: 10 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- 834 runs in 36 innings, adjusted average 23.8, strike rate 115.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 5 wickets from 11.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 0.15 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
