Adjusted average of 14.6 over 41 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 14.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 37 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.49 per match at 16.0, economy 3.18, strike rate 30.2.
