info
General
No critical flags

- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 158.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 22 × 40% · Batting 82 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 25 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- 2,348 runs in 76 innings, adjusted average 42.7, strike rate 65.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 27 wickets from 142.7 overs across 33 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 0.82 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
