Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.30.
- ✓ Safe hands — 11 catches in 29 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.39 for the level played (State competition 7 · Club 22). 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: 11 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 40 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.43 per match at 16.8, economy 3.30, strike rate 30.6.
