Adjusted average of 12.8 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 13.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 33). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 12.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 53 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.21 per match at 13.1, economy 3.40, strike rate 23.0.
