Adjusted average of 7.3 over 70 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
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

- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Sharp glovework — 5 stumpings.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 8 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 85). 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: 12 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.16 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 70 innings at 7.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 43 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 0.77 per match at 15.8, economy 3.88, strike rate 24.5.
