medium

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.95.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 41). 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 + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 24 innings at 6.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 85 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 2.18 per match at 14.6, economy 2.95, strike rate 29.7.
