Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
6 of 11 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 61.8.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 138.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 8.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.98.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 16 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 91 × 30% · Bowling 73 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- 713 runs in 14 innings, adjusted average 61.8, strike rate 87.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 12 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.50 per match at 8.3, economy 2.98, strike rate 16.6.
