Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 5.5 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% 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 17.7.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 113 wickets in 87 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 1.30 per match at 17.7, economy 3.82, strike rate 27.8.
