Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 49 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 73 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 10.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 108 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 2.04 per match at 16.5, economy 3.40, strike rate 29.1.
