medium

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 71 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 14.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 0.85 per match at 11.0, economy 3.46, strike rate 19.1.
