medium
Batting

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.72.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 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 36). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 36 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 69 matches — 0.26 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 5.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 141 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 69 played) — 2.07 per match at 15.3, economy 3.72, strike rate 24.8.
