medium
Batting

Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 18.0.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.69.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 31 × 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 22). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 22 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 37 innings at 10.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 38 matches — 1.89 per match at 18.0, economy 3.69, strike rate 29.2.
