medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 12% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 42 × 30% · Bowling 48 × 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 19). 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: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.26 per match.
Batting
224 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 19.3, strike rate 70.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
20 wickets in 18 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.11 per match at 27.2, economy 4.02, strike rate 40.5.
