Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 2.88 is excellent but a wicket every 47 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 125.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 15 × 40% · Batting 46 × 30% · Bowling 18 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 54 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- 1,059 runs in 53 innings, adjusted average 22.2, strike rate 65.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 67 wickets in 51 matches bowled in (of 54 played) — 1.31 per match at 22.6, economy 2.88, strike rate 47.2.
