Adjusted average of 13.7 over 22 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 23 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 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 26). 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: 9 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 26 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 20 matches bowled in (of 26 played) — 0.95 per match at 23.7, economy 3.69, strike rate 38.5.
