Adjusted average of 6.6 over 15 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 40% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. 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 28). 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: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 6.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.48 per match at 17.1, economy 4.41, strike rate 23.2.
