- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 13 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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
- ×0.59 for the level played (1st grade 5 · Club 8). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 13 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 5 innings at 5.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 13 matches — 2.00 per match at 13.0, economy 4.09, strike rate 19.0.
