Vulnerable to the straight ball
7 of 10 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.67 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 6.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.30.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 16 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 12 matches (0.67 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 59 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 12). 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 12 matches — 0.67 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 15.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 12 matches — 1.67 per match at 6.1, economy 2.30, strike rate 15.9.
