Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.38.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 44 × 30% · Bowling 46 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (2nd grade 30 · 3rd grade 17 · 4th grade 8). 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: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 605 runs in 46 innings, adjusted average 18.9, strike rate 56.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 70 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.35 per match at 21.6, economy 3.38, strike rate 38.2.
