Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.4 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 13 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 10). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 10 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.50 per match at 11.7, economy 5.25, strike rate 13.3.
