Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.1 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
14 of 20 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 13.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 40 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 35). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 35 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 11.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 35 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 1.25 per match at 13.3, economy 3.41, strike rate 23.5.
