- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.21.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 12 innings at 12.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 15 wickets in 11 matches — 1.36 per match at 16.9, economy 3.21, strike rate 31.7.
