Batting
Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 10.7 over 54 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 54 innings at 10.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 74 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 1.35 per match at 17.1, economy 3.72, strike rate 27.6.
