Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
7 of 13 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 24 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.04 per match at 12.0, economy 3.47, strike rate 20.8.
