Strengths

- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 56 × 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
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 36 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 39 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 36 played) — 1.10 per match at 14.0, economy 4.07, strike rate 20.6.
