high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 9.6 over 28 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 29% 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 15.9.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 9.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 35 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.46 per match at 15.9, economy 3.98, strike rate 23.9.
