Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 3.9 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.34.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 31 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 31). 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 + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 3.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.60 per match at 10.9, economy 2.34, strike rate 28.1.
