high Batting
Getting starts but not surviving

Adjusted average of 10.8 over 116 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 15% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 59 catches in 168 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 11 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 168). 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: 59 catches + 11 run outs (11 direct, 0 assisted) in 168 matches — 0.42 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 116 innings at 10.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
144 wickets in 114 matches bowled in (of 168 played) — 1.26 per match at 23.4, economy 4.57, strike rate 30.7.
