Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 45 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 29 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 101 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 94 innings at 23.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 163 wickets in 89 matches bowled in (of 101 played) — 1.83 per match at 14.4, economy 3.18, strike rate 27.1.
