Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.1 over 17 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.48.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 78 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 17 innings at 12.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 2.22 per match at 8.3, economy 2.48, strike rate 20.0.
