info
General

- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 15 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (1st grade 3 · 2nd grade 3). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 1 innings at 5.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 11 wickets in 6 matches — 1.83 per match at 11.6, economy 4.57, strike rate 15.3.
