high
Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 11.3 over 10 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.23 dismissals per match across 13 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.17.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 75 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.75 for the level played (National competition 9 · 1st grade 1 · 2nd grade 3). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 10 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 13 played) — 2.00 per match at 13.8, economy 2.17, strike rate 38.3.
