Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.0 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 17% 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 10.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.19.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · 3rd grade 1 · 4th grade 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 13.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 68 wickets in 43 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.58 per match at 10.5, economy 3.19, strike rate 19.8.
