Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.68 is excellent but a wicket every 44 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 0 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · 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 · 4th grade 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 3 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 1 innings at 5.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 22.0 overs across 3 matches — 1.00 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
