high
Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 53 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 53 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.16 per match at 22.9, economy 3.77, strike rate 36.4.
