Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.86 is excellent but a wicket every 42 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.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 84.8 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 102.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 78 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 2 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 113 runs in 2 innings, adjusted average 84.8, strike rate 72.3. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 1 wicket from 7.0 overs across 1 matches bowled in (of 2 played) — 0.50 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
