Adjusted average of 12.9 over 66 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.49 for the level played (Rep Div 1 18 · Club 19 · 4th grade 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 45 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 66 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 47.0 overs across 13 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.18 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
