high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 41 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 41). 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: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.23 per match at 24.9, economy 4.77, strike rate 31.3.
