medium
Bowling
Tight but not threatening
Economy of 3.91 is excellent but a wicket every 70 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 60 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 1 match since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 4 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 9 matches — 0.56 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 25.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 3 wickets from 35.0 overs across 9 matches — 0.33 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
