Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
4 of 7 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 26 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 75 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 20.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.64 per match at 12.4, economy 3.58, strike rate 20.8.
