Batting
High duck rate

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.28.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 9 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 40 × 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 18). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 18 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 67 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 62 innings at 15.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 71 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 67 played) — 1.16 per match at 17.4, economy 3.28, strike rate 31.8.
