Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
8 of 15 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.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.34 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.19 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 16.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 0.61 per match at 16.4, economy 3.77, strike rate 26.1.
