Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 54 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 39 × 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 37). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 37 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 12 run outs (3 direct, 9 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 0.58 per match at 21.6, economy 4.71, strike rate 27.6.
