medium

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.75.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 53 matches — 0.34 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 50 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 84 wickets in 45 matches bowled in (of 53 played) — 1.87 per match at 12.8, economy 3.75, strike rate 20.5.
