Batting

Strengths

- ✓ Safe hands — 31 catches in 84 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · 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 84). 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: 31 catches + 12 run outs (12 direct, 0 assisted) in 84 matches — 0.51 per match.
- Batting
- 1,463 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 24.2, strike rate 76.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 115 wickets in 80 matches bowled in (of 84 played) — 1.44 per match at 17.4, economy 4.00, strike rate 26.1.
