medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.40 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 20 matches (0.40 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 28 × 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 20). 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.
Fielding
Outfield: 6 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 19 innings at 17.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
14 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.82 per match at 17.8, economy 3.25, strike rate 32.9.
