Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.0 over 24 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.24 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 12.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.08 per match at 17.4, economy 4.80, strike rate 21.8.
