Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.7 over 13 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 7 catches in 19 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 19). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 0 wickets from 10.0 overs across 4 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
