Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 13.4 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 10 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 5 catches + 3 stumpings + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.41 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 31.7 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
