Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 4.2 over 23 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 18 catches in 50 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 23 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (4th grade 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 23 innings at 4.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 39 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.87 per match at 36.7, economy 4.61, strike rate 47.7.
