Adjusted average of 13.8 over 36 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.0.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 32 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 66 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 5 run outs (0 direct, 5 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 36 innings at 13.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 48 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.27 per match at 16.0, economy 3.83, strike rate 25.1.
