Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
14 of 28 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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 42). 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: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 25 wickets from 96.0 overs across 35 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.71 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
