Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.56.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 75 catches in 209 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.40 for the level played (State competition 17 · 1st grade 4 · Rep Div 1 31 · Club 157). 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: 75 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 209 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 204 innings at 20.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
247 wickets in 175 matches bowled in (of 209 played) — 1.41 per match at 19.5, economy 3.56, strike rate 32.8.
