Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.8 over 33 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.22 dismissals per match across 37 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 37 × 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
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 0.67 per match at 28.9, economy 4.78, strike rate 36.3.
