Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.65 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.28 for the level played (Club 18 · 4th grade 5 · 5th grade and below 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 48 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- 756 runs in 50 innings, adjusted average 18.1, strike rate 82.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 31 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 48 played) — 1.03 per match at 25.3, economy 3.65, strike rate 41.5.
