medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.17 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.65 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 — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.17.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 34 matches (0.65 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 71 × 40% · Batting 71 × 30% · Bowling 53 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.76 per match.
- Batting
- 932 runs in 33 innings, adjusted average 32.5, strike rate 76.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 19 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 0.83 per match at 22.5, economy 3.17, strike rate 42.5.
