Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 7.2 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 44 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 7.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.71 per match at 15.1, economy 2.98, strike rate 30.5.
