- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.92.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 49). 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: 13 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 11.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.79 per match at 14.4, economy 2.92, strike rate 29.6.
