medium
Batting

Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.00.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 17 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 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 35). 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 35 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 13.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 25 matches bowled in (of 35 played) — 1.64 per match at 14.0, economy 3.00, strike rate 27.9.
