medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 23% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 41 catches + 4 run outs (3 direct, 1 assisted) in 182 matches — 0.25 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 143 innings at 10.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
194 wickets in 161 matches bowled in (of 182 played) — 1.20 per match at 21.6, economy 3.77, strike rate 34.4.
