Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.22.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 45). 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 0.84 per match at 13.2, economy 3.22, strike rate 24.6.
