Strengths

  • ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.6.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.80.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting 37 × 30% · Bowling 68 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 11 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 4 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.36 per match.
Batting
210 runs in 11 innings, adjusted average 22.6, strike rate 48.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
16 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 2.29 per match at 11.6, economy 2.80, strike rate 24.8.
