medium
Batting

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.6.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 85). 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: 25 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 85 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 13.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 111 wickets in 79 matches bowled in (of 85 played) — 1.41 per match at 17.6, economy 3.91, strike rate 26.9.
