Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.82 for the level played (1st grade 13 · 2nd grade 2). 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: 5 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 241 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 21.4, strike rate 61.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 13 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.46 per match at 22.3, economy 3.44, strike rate 38.9.
