- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.79.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 1 8 · Club 73). 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: 24 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 65 innings at 18.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 0.87 per match at 16.9, economy 3.79, strike rate 26.7.
