Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 5.8 over 35 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate

Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (1st grade 4 · 2nd grade 7 · Club 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 5.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 87 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.98 per match at 20.2, economy 3.23, strike rate 37.5.
