Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 14.4 over 112 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.28.
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 109 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 74 · 4th grade 6 · 5th grade and below 20). 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: 38 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 109 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 112 innings at 14.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 109 played) — 1.23 per match at 19.8, economy 3.28, strike rate 36.1.
