Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.77 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.77.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 27 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 21 innings at 20.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 26 wickets in 24 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.08 per match at 20.5, economy 2.77, strike rate 44.5.
