medium
Batting
High duck rate
Out for 0 in 16% 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 3.75.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 57 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 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
- ×0.39 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 43). 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: 19 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 1.34 per match at 21.6, economy 3.75, strike rate 34.5.
