Critical recommendations

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 2.66 is excellent but a wicket every 42 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 31.7.
  • ✓ Proven ability to go big — 7 hundred(s), best of 147.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.66.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 49 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.57 for the level played (1st grade 104 · Rep Div 1 3 · 2nd grade 17 · 3rd grade 4 · Club 54 · 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: 56 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 184 matches — 0.31 per match.
Batting
6,222 runs in 207 innings, adjusted average 31.7, strike rate 68.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
172 wickets in 142 matches bowled in (of 184 played) — 1.21 per match at 18.8, economy 2.66, strike rate 42.5.
