Batting
High duck rate

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.47.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 12 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.37 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 28 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 12 run outs (6 direct, 6 assisted) in 90 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 80 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 103 wickets in 85 matches bowled in (of 90 played) — 1.21 per match at 11.7, economy 3.47, strike rate 20.2.
