Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
- ✓ Safe hands — 34 catches in 87 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 34 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 87 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 46 innings at 14.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 175 wickets in 83 matches bowled in (of 87 played) — 2.11 per match at 16.1, economy 3.60, strike rate 26.9.
