Adjusted average of 9.9 over 11 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 13 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 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 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 11 innings at 9.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 18 wickets from 84.8 overs across 11 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 1.64 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
