Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.1 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 50 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (1st grade 28 · 2nd grade 1 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 19). 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: 19 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 73 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.52 per match at 27.2, economy 4.58, strike rate 35.6.
