Critical recommendations
high
Bowling
Economy under pressure
Going at 6.18 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.0.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 15 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 36 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 34). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 34 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 59 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 17.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 49 matches bowled in (of 59 played) — 1.41 per match at 15.0, economy 6.18, strike rate 14.6.
