Adjusted average of 14.9 over 119 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 13% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 1 1 · Club 39). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 44 catches + 7 run outs (5 direct, 2 assisted) in 118 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 119 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 118 played) — 0.78 per match at 15.5, economy 3.65, strike rate 25.4.
