medium
Batting

- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 122.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting 75 × 30% · Bowling 67 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 5 run outs (1 direct, 4 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 608 runs in 32 innings, adjusted average 25.5, strike rate 91.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 0.97 per match at 14.2, economy 3.27, strike rate 26.1.
