Critical recommendations

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.83 is excellent but a wicket every 57 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

info Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon

0.60 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.

Strengths

  • ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 20 matches (0.60 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 55 × 30% · Bowling 36 × 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 17). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 17 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 12 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 20 matches — 0.60 per match.
Batting
385 runs in 16 innings, adjusted average 27.1, strike rate 65.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
Bowling
5 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 20 played) — 0.45 per match at 36.6, economy 3.83, strike rate 57.4.
