Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 20 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 19). 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: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 1.65 per match at 16.6, economy 4.34, strike rate 22.8.
