medium
Batting

- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 31 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 89 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 66 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 127 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 89 played) — 1.61 per match at 13.8, economy 3.97, strike rate 20.9.
