medium
Batting

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 48 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 75 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 13 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 27 innings at 16.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 62 wickets in 36 matches — 1.72 per match at 11.5, economy 3.25, strike rate 21.1.
