Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.65 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
0.59 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.65.
- ✓ Safe hands — 29 catches in 49 matches (0.59 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 37 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 51 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.60 for the level played (1st grade 26 · 2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 15 · Club 2). 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: 26 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.53 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 19.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 64 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.60 per match at 18.8, economy 2.65, strike rate 42.5.
