medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 119). 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: 26 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 119 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 95 innings at 19.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 124 wickets in 99 matches bowled in (of 119 played) — 1.25 per match at 16.2, economy 3.68, strike rate 26.4.
