Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
5 of 7 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 9.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 8). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 8 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 21.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 8 matches — 3.25 per match at 9.9, economy 3.00, strike rate 19.8.
