Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.68.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 50). 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: 15 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 50 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 50 played) — 0.89 per match at 19.8, economy 3.68, strike rate 32.2.
