Batting

Strengths
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.71 for the level played (Rep Div 1 6 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 17 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 1.13 per match at 27.4, economy 4.08, strike rate 40.3.
