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 16.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 50 × 30% · Bowling 73 × 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 8). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 424 runs in 54 innings, adjusted average 9.7, strike rate 72.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 103 wickets in 74 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 1.39 per match at 16.7, economy 3.17, strike rate 31.5.
