Boundary-or-block scoring pattern
73% of runs come in boundaries yet the strike rate is modest — between boundaries the scoreboard stalls. Add strike rotation to keep bowlers from settling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 34 × 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 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- 817 runs in 53 innings, adjusted average 18.3, strike rate 84.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.56 per match at 24.4, economy 4.95, strike rate 29.6.
