Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.53.
- ✓ Safe hands — 9 catches in 26 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.48 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 10 · 4th grade 2). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 10.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.14 per match at 17.6, economy 3.53, strike rate 29.8.
