Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.8 over 46 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 29). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 20 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 9.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.96 per match at 14.4, economy 4.30, strike rate 20.0.
