Adjusted average of 10.5 over 52 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.

- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 19 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 6 run outs (2 direct, 4 assisted) in 64 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 52 innings at 10.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 56 wickets in 59 matches bowled in (of 64 played) — 0.95 per match at 12.2, economy 3.82, strike rate 19.1.
