  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 131.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.7.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.54.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 21 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 62 × 40% · Batting 45 × 30% · Bowling 76 × 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 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 28 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 72 catches + 21 run outs (19 direct, 2 assisted) in 237 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
4,575 runs in 190 innings, adjusted average 31.6, strike rate 71.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
291 wickets in 230 matches bowled in (of 237 played) — 1.27 per match at 12.7, economy 2.54, strike rate 30.0.
