Getting starts but not surviving
Adjusted average of 12.2 over 62 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 18% 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 16.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.19.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 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 98). 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
- Outfield: 26 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 62 innings at 12.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 93 wickets in 92 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 1.01 per match at 16.6, economy 3.19, strike rate 31.2.
