Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 6.4 over 21 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 6.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 84 wickets in 59 matches — 1.42 per match at 17.4, economy 4.93, strike rate 21.2.
