medium
Fielding
Low overall fielding impact
0.21 dismissals per match across 58 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.2.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.74.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 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 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 48 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 99 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.83 per match at 14.2, economy 2.74, strike rate 31.1.
