Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.67 is excellent but a wicket every 68 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.83 for the level played (1st grade 7 · Rep Div 1 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: 2 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.22 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 4 wickets in 7 matches bowled in (of 9 played) — 0.57 per match at 30.0, economy 2.67, strike rate 67.5.
