medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 19% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.07.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.46 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 16 · 4th grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 41 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 11 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 18.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 68 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.70 per match at 12.0, economy 3.07, strike rate 23.5.
