Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 14.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.69 per match at 15.3, economy 2.95, strike rate 31.1.
