Strengths

- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 66 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 10 · Club 56). 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: 24 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 66 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 15.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 66 played) — 1.05 per match at 11.7, economy 2.21, strike rate 31.8.
