Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.3 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.85.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 92 wickets in 69 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 1.33 per match at 17.8, economy 2.85, strike rate 37.4.
