- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 19 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 37). 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: 10 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 5.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 27 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.52 per match at 14.4, economy 3.23, strike rate 26.7.
