Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 10.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.73.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 17 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 52 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 17 matches — 0.65 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 14 innings at 18.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 17 played) — 2.21 per match at 10.9, economy 2.73, strike rate 24.0.
