Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.41 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 38.9 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 110.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 9 matches (0.56 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 74 × 30% · 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- 311 runs in 12 innings, adjusted average 38.9, strike rate 75.5. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 7 wickets in 8 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.88 per match at 24.0, economy 3.41, strike rate 42.3.
