Batting

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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 61). 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: 16 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 61 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 21.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 27 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 61 played) — 0.96 per match at 16.6, economy 3.97, strike rate 25.1.
