- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.02.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 22 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 38 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 77 × 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 113). 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: 34 catches + 6 run outs (6 direct, 0 assisted) in 113 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 79 innings at 11.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 117 wickets in 101 matches bowled in (of 113 played) — 1.16 per match at 11.1, economy 3.02, strike rate 22.0.
