Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 2.3 over 44 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
high
Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
5 of 9 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
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.78.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 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 61). 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: 18 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 2.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 68 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 1.26 per match at 18.3, economy 3.78, strike rate 29.0.
