Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.3 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 67 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 2 · Club 65). 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: 26 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 13.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 88 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 1.54 per match at 15.7, economy 4.07, strike rate 23.2.
