Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.3 over 32 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 12.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.16 per match at 16.9, economy 4.22, strike rate 24.0.
