Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 149.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting 62 × 30% · Bowling 32 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.70 for the level played (1st grade 78 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 8 · Club 4). 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: 29 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 91 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- 2,634 runs in 97 innings, adjusted average 28.0, strike rate 60.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 6 wickets in 16 matches bowled in (of 91 played) — 0.07 per match at 41.0, economy 3.92, strike rate 62.8.
