high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.7 over 100 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 50 catches in 118 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 29 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 118 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 100 innings at 14.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 118 played) — 0.86 per match at 24.7, economy 4.93, strike rate 30.0.
