Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.6 over 86 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 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
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 107). 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: 33 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 110 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 86 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 181 wickets in 98 matches bowled in (of 110 played) — 1.85 per match at 15.5, economy 3.34, strike rate 27.9.
