Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.97 is excellent but a wicket every 67 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 121.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 71 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 61 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.29 for the level played (4th grade 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 1,809 runs in 75 innings, adjusted average 25.4, strike rate 68.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 21 wickets from 233.7 overs across 34 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.62 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
