medium
Batting
High duck rate

Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 163.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting 73 × 30% · Bowling 39 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.35 for the level played (2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 5 · Club 17 · 4th grade 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- 1,307 runs in 63 innings, adjusted average 23.7, strike rate 89.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 1.03 per match at 21.1, economy 4.22, strike rate 30.0.
