Adjusted average of 9.2 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.19 dismissals per match across 26 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 11 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 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 15). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 15 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 9.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.68 per match at 32.7, economy 4.84, strike rate 40.6.
