Critical recommendations

medium Bowling
Tight but not threatening

Economy of 3.44 is excellent but a wicket every 43 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.

Strengths

  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.44.
  • ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 19 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 48 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.76 for the level played (National competition 35 · State competition 5 · 1st grade 229 · Rep Div 1 1 · 2nd grade 18 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 49). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
Fielding
Outfield: 97 catches + 19 run outs (19 direct, 0 assisted) in 338 matches — 0.34 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 317 innings at 20.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
456 wickets in 288 matches bowled in (of 338 played) — 1.58 per match at 24.5, economy 3.44, strike rate 42.7.
