Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.1 over 93 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.59.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 28 · Club 82). 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: 33 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 93 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 156 wickets in 103 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 1.51 per match at 17.1, economy 3.59, strike rate 28.6.
