Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.0 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 8 · Club 58 · 4th grade 1). 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: 13 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 11.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 59 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 0.91 per match at 13.8, economy 3.30, strike rate 25.0.
