Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.1 over 7 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 7 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 13 matches — 1.38 per match at 17.1, economy 2.98, strike rate 34.5.
