Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.07 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
info
General
Small sample size
Only 2 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.07.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 4). 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 4 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 2 innings at 3.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 8 wickets in 4 matches — 2.00 per match at 14.0, economy 2.07, strike rate 40.5.
