Adjusted average of 9.2 over 61 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 17.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.06.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 46 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 7 run outs (1 direct, 6 assisted) in 78 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 61 innings at 9.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 90 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 78 played) — 1.18 per match at 17.8, economy 3.06, strike rate 34.8.
