Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.73.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 33 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 6 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 29 matches — 0.28 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 17.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 29 played) — 1.56 per match at 22.2, economy 3.73, strike rate 35.7.
