Critical recommendations
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 100.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 63 × 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
- ×0.48 for the level played (2nd grade 5 · 3rd grade 13). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 424 runs in 17 innings, adjusted average 27.9, strike rate 72.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 5.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.06 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
