Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball
15 of 26 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
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.70.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 6 run outs (5 direct, 1 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 22.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 51 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.21 per match at 11.6, economy 2.70, strike rate 25.7.
