- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.83.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 24 matches — 0.38 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 18 innings at 16.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 24 played) — 1.86 per match at 15.3, economy 2.83, strike rate 32.5.
