medium Batting
Not converting fifties into hundreds

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 33 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 2 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 14 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.55 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 32 innings at 27.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
Not rated: 25 wickets from 100.3 overs across 19 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.32 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
