Critical recommendations

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.18 is excellent but a wicket every 44 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 23 hundred(s), best of 190.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.18.
  • ✓ Safe hands — 155 catches in 419 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 41 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.81 for the level played (National competition 32 · 1st grade 313 · Rep Div 1 39 · 2nd grade 16 · 3rd grade 12 · Club 7). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 155 catches + 8 run outs (8 direct, 0 assisted) in 419 matches — 0.39 per match.
Batting
11,777 runs in 427 innings, adjusted average 30.0, strike rate 78.9. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
507 wickets in 322 matches bowled in (of 419 played) — 1.57 per match at 23.4, economy 3.18, strike rate 44.1.
