Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.58 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
0.48 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 32.3.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 166.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.58.
- ✓ Safe hands — 39 catches in 81 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting 91 × 30% · Bowling 66 × 30%. 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 26). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 26 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 8 run outs (4 direct, 4 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.43 per match.
- Batting
- 2,058 runs in 79 innings, adjusted average 32.3, strike rate 79.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 57 wickets in 58 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 0.98 per match at 24.9, economy 3.58, strike rate 41.8.
