Batting

Strengths
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 10 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 47 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 46 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 10 run outs (6 direct, 4 assisted) in 72 matches — 0.46 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 20.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 72 played) — 0.66 per match at 21.0, economy 4.20, strike rate 30.0.
