Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.2 over 19 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 32% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 20 matches (1.55 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 92 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Keeping: 28 catches + 3 stumpings + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 1.55 dismissals per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 19 innings at 6.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 2 wickets from 4.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.10 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
