Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 57 matches (0.39 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 27 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 9 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 19 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 57 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 57 played) — 0.74 per match at 28.7, economy 4.93, strike rate 35.0.
