Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.21 is excellent but a wicket every 61 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Reliable in the field — contributes a dismissal every second match.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 41 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 29 × 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 16). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 16 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 3 catches + 5 run outs (2 direct, 3 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 18.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 15 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 0.60 per match at 32.8, economy 3.21, strike rate 61.3.
