Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.8 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (State competition 3 · Rep Div 1 11 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.19 per match at 11.8, economy 3.14, strike rate 22.6.
