Adjusted average of 12.7 over 16 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 12.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.89 per match at 31.6, economy 4.25, strike rate 44.6.
