Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 56 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.26 for the level played (Club 33 · 5th grade and below 32). 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: 21 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 1.43 per match at 15.5, economy 3.92, strike rate 23.7.
