Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.5.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 1.96.
- ✓ Safe hands — 23 catches in 60 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.27 for the level played (Club 10 · 5th grade and below 4). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 23 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 15.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 108 wickets in 57 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.89 per match at 12.5, economy 1.96, strike rate 38.3.
