Out for 0 in 11% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Batting

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.61 for the level played (State competition 9 · 1st grade 22 · Rep Div 1 21 · 2nd grade 14 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 59). 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.

Outfield: 36 catches + 15 run outs (15 direct, 0 assisted) in 137 matches — 0.37 per match.

155 wickets in 125 matches bowled in (of 137 played) — 1.24 per match at 21.5, economy 4.17, strike rate 31.0.
