high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.4 over 69 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 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 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 69 innings at 11.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 76 wickets in 67 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.13 per match at 18.4, economy 4.49, strike rate 24.6.
