Adjusted average of 12.4 over 38 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.97.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 18 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 49). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 12.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 85 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.85 per match at 12.7, economy 2.97, strike rate 25.7.
