Basham's numbers paint a clear picture of a player built around defensive workload — averaging over seven tackles per match across his recorded appearances, with a single-game peak of 16, he consistently operates as a high-volume tackler in the Gloucester system. His carrying game is measured rather than prominent, contributing steadily through contact but not as a primary ball-carrier. The combination of heavy defensive output and reliable carry numbers suggests a flanker who earns his minutes through industry and structure rather than headline moments.
