- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.74.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 32). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 32 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 55 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 13.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 85 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 55 played) — 1.63 per match at 14.8, economy 3.74, strike rate 23.7.
