Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 132.
  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.0.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.80 for the level played (1st grade 38 · 2nd grade 5). 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: 10 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.30 per match.
Batting
977 runs in 43 innings, adjusted average 28.0, strike rate 60.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
59 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.51 per match at 15.0, economy 2.92, strike rate 30.9.
