- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.69.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.24 for the level played (Club 14 · 4th grade 1 · 5th grade and below 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 33 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 7 run outs (2 direct, 5 assisted) in 83 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 73 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 77 wickets in 81 matches bowled in (of 83 played) — 0.95 per match at 15.0, economy 3.69, strike rate 24.3.
