Adjusted average of 13.6 over 26 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting

Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.21.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 13.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 1.64 per match at 13.5, economy 3.21, strike rate 25.3.
