Adjusted average of 13.7 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.2.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.29.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 33). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.33 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 25 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
54 wickets in 33 matches — 1.64 per match at 17.2, economy 3.29, strike rate 31.4.
