- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.70.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 77 × 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 39). 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: 10 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 7.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 58 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.61 per match at 9.4, economy 2.70, strike rate 20.9.
