Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.76 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.47 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.5.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 5 hundred(s), best of 165.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.76.
- ✓ Safe hands — 62 catches in 132 matches (0.47 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting 76 × 30% · Bowling 44 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.66 for the level played (National competition 6 · 1st grade 115 · Club 11). 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: 62 catches + 7 run outs (7 direct, 0 assisted) in 132 matches — 0.52 per match.
- Batting
- 4,034 runs in 137 innings, adjusted average 32.5, strike rate 76.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 61 wickets in 76 matches bowled in (of 132 played) — 0.80 per match at 29.3, economy 3.76, strike rate 46.7.
