medium

0.17 dismissals per match across 12 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.45.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 12). 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 12 matches — 0.17 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 9.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 18 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 12 played) — 2.25 per match at 16.5, economy 3.45, strike rate 28.7.
