Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 8.1 over 25 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 24% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 8.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 13 wickets from 41.5 overs across 14 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.93 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
