Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.8 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.28.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 50). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 113 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 2.35 per match at 15.7, economy 3.28, strike rate 28.7.
