Getting starts but not surviving

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.39.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 33). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 9.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.31 per match at 17.5, economy 3.39, strike rate 30.9.
