Adjusted average of 10.7 over 31 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% 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 14.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.95.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 13 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 10.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 49 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 1.63 per match at 14.1, economy 2.95, strike rate 28.7.
