medium
Batting

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 11.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 48 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.60 per match at 19.1, economy 3.13, strike rate 36.6.
