Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
10 of 19 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 10.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 1.89.
- ✓ Safe hands — 6 catches in 16 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 58 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 63 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 27 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 16 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- 505 runs in 22 innings, adjusted average 26.1, strike rate 68.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 4 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.88 per match at 10.5, economy 1.89, strike rate 33.3.
