- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.08.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 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 15). 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: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 15 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 15 matches — 1.73 per match at 19.6, economy 3.08, strike rate 38.1.
