General

Imported-match numbers are solid across the board. Keep importing matches to track trends over time.
Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.32.
- ✓ Safe hands — 19 catches in 50 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 18 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 25.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 1.39 per match at 15.0, economy 3.32, strike rate 27.1.
