- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.34.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 16 innings at 12.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.53 per match at 12.8, economy 3.34, strike rate 23.0.
