Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.0 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 19). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 14.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 0.88 per match at 12.1, economy 3.87, strike rate 18.8.
