Batting
Vulnerable to the straight ball

Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 33). 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 33 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.33 per match at 18.8, economy 3.60, strike rate 31.4.
