Adjusted average of 8.7 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 9 · 2nd grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 10 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 8.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 10 matches — 0.70 per match at 39.3, economy 4.44, strike rate 53.1.
