Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.9 over 49 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 62). 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: 17 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 62 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 49 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 130 wickets in 62 matches — 2.10 per match at 15.1, economy 3.01, strike rate 30.1.
