medium
Batting
High duck rate

Strengths
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 76). 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: 14 catches + 9 run outs (9 direct, 0 assisted) in 76 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 67 innings at 8.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 34 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 76 played) — 0.69 per match at 19.0, economy 4.90, strike rate 23.3.
