Adjusted average of 11.2 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.79.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 42). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 11.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.79 per match at 12.3, economy 2.79, strike rate 26.3.
