medium
Fielding

Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.54.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (1st grade 6 · Rep Div 1 21 · 2nd grade 4 · 3rd grade 14 · Club 6 · 4th grade 5). 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: 11 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.23 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 38 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.90 per match at 23.1, economy 3.54, strike rate 39.0.
