Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.1 over 35 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 17.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 42 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 29 · 4th grade 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 5 run outs (3 direct, 2 assisted) in 42 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 35 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 33 matches bowled in (of 42 played) — 1.09 per match at 17.6, economy 4.36, strike rate 24.3.
