Adjusted average of 14.8 over 43 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium
Batting
High duck rate

Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.70.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · Club 44). 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: 13 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 47 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 43 innings at 14.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 82 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 47 played) — 1.78 per match at 19.0, economy 3.70, strike rate 30.8.
