Critical recommendations
Economy of 3.13 is excellent but a wicket every 72 balls is slow. Develop a genuine wicket-taking variation and attack the stumps more.
Only 4 batting innings imported — import more of this player's matches before treating these findings as conclusive.
Bowling average (37.5) beats batting average (19.7) — selection case is as a bowling all-rounder; protect bowling workload first.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 0 × 40% · Batting 37 × 30% · Bowling 45 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.50 for the level played (Rep Div 1 3 · 4th grade 1). 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: 0 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 4 matches — 0.00 per match.
- Batting
- 63 runs in 4 innings, adjusted average 19.7. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 2 wickets in 3 matches bowled in (of 4 played) — 0.50 per match at 37.5, economy 3.13, strike rate 72.0.
