Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.91 is excellent but a wicket every 46 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 24 × 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
- ×0.45 for the level played (Rep Div 1 9 · Club 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 29 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 56 matches — 0.25 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 44 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 15 wickets from 116.0 overs across 29 matches bowled in (of 56 played) — 0.52 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
