- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.55.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.41 for the level played (Rep Div 1 13 · Club 22). 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: 6 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 35 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 14.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 36 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.16 per match at 18.0, economy 3.55, strike rate 30.4.
