Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.1.

- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 38 catches in 104 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 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
- ×0.26 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Rep Div 2 5 · Club 60 · 4th grade 7 · 5th grade and below 28). 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: 38 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 104 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 73 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 100 wickets in 73 matches bowled in (of 104 played) — 1.37 per match at 12.1, economy 3.36, strike rate 21.5.
