Adjusted average of 7.7 over 42 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
medium

How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 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
- ×0.38 for the level played (Rep Div 1 14 · Club 40). 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: 18 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 42 innings at 7.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 39 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.05 per match at 13.9, economy 2.84, strike rate 29.3.
