Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Safe hands — 37 catches in 98 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 37 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 98 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 56 innings at 8.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 187 wickets in 95 matches bowled in (of 98 played) — 1.97 per match at 14.9, economy 3.23, strike rate 27.7.
