medium

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.77.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 41 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 15.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 41 matches — 1.00 per match at 23.4, economy 3.77, strike rate 37.2.
