Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 30 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.23.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 30 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 2.20 per match at 10.4, economy 2.23, strike rate 27.8.
