These numbers tell you something the format breakdown alone doesn't: this is a bowler first, and a batter who becomes genuinely dangerous only in the shortest format. His T20I batting average sits under 9, but his T20 strike rate across all leagues is 154.33.
In practice, that gap usually means a player is being sent in late to swing a game rather than build an innings from the top.
Who Is Jamie Overton?
Jamie Overton is an English right-arm fast bowler and lower-order batter who plays county cricket for Surrey and has represented England across all three international formats. Born on 10 April 1994 in Barnstaple, Devon, he stands 6ft 5in and bats right-handed.
He is the twin brother of fellow England cricketer Craig Overton. In practice, most scorecards and team sheets list him simply as a bowling allrounder, though his output at international level leans far more toward wickets than runs.

That ODI average of 27.20 reflects a middle-order role rather than a top-order one. He's usually coming in with fewer overs left to bat, which caps how high a batting average can climb regardless of form.

A T20I bowling average of 18.30 paired with an economy over 8 is a fairly normal split for a fast bowler used mainly to take wickets rather than shut an end down, and it fits how he's generally deployed, new-ball overs or the death rather than a holding role in the middle.

First-class cricket is where his one century sits, alongside 13 fifties, figures that point to a batter capable of longer innings when the format calls for it, even if that side of his game gets less attention than his short-form hitting.

Key Differences Between the Two Careers
Craig reached international cricket five years before Jamie did, largely because Jamie's development was repeatedly interrupted by injury. Craig also stayed at Somerset for his whole career, while Jamie moved to Surrey after a loan spell at Northamptonshire.
Both bowl with pace and bounce given their shared height, but Jamie is generally regarded as the quicker of the two, which shapes how each is used in white-ball cricket.
