Critical recommendations
medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.41 is excellent but a wicket every 40 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.41.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 44 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 54 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 2 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 4 run outs (1 direct, 3 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 34 innings at 19.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 0.70 per match at 22.8, economy 3.41, strike rate 40.1.
