Adjusted average of 11.6 over 51 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.2.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 28). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 6 run outs (3 direct, 3 assisted) in 58 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 51 innings at 11.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 55 matches bowled in (of 58 played) — 1.11 per match at 16.2, economy 3.88, strike rate 25.1.
