medium
Batting

Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 42.8.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 123.9) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 105.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling 29 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 18 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 693 runs in 18 innings, adjusted average 42.8, strike rate 123.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 18 played) — 0.57 per match at 38.4, economy 4.45, strike rate 51.8.
