Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 42 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Club 35). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 0.58 per match at 22.9, economy 4.44, strike rate 30.9.
