medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 14% 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 16.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.91.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.56 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 25 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.81 per match at 17.0, economy 2.91, strike rate 34.9.
