Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.39.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 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 21). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 18.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 42 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 1.64 per match at 22.0, economy 3.39, strike rate 38.9.
