Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
8 of 16 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
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 23). 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 + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 8 wickets from 50.0 overs across 21 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 0.38 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
