high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
8 of 15 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 17.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.10.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 19.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.90 per match at 17.1, economy 3.10, strike rate 33.2.
