medium
Batting

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 11.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 65 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 0.77 per match at 18.2, economy 3.78, strike rate 28.9.
