Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.6 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 44 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 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
- ×0.47 for the level played (1st grade 3 · Rep Div 1 15 · Club 26). 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: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 10.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 34 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.94 per match at 14.3, economy 3.27, strike rate 26.2.
