Adjusted average of 10.2 over 71 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 20% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.9.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 129). 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: 38 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 129 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 71 innings at 10.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 148 wickets in 106 matches bowled in (of 129 played) — 1.40 per match at 17.9, economy 4.13, strike rate 26.0.
