Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 23 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 23 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 10.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 23 played) — 1.60 per match at 17.4, economy 3.23, strike rate 32.3.
