high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.9 over 63 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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 14.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 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
- ×0.36 for the level played (State competition 4 · Club 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 63 innings at 13.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 75 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 1.03 per match at 14.3, economy 3.47, strike rate 24.7.
