Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 24). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 24 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 17 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.12 per match at 22.4, economy 5.67, strike rate 23.7.
