Vulnerable to the straight ball
9 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.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.44 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.3.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 25 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 61 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 25 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 15.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 25 played) — 0.62 per match at 17.3, economy 3.94, strike rate 26.4.
