Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 17 catches in 49 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 34 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 18 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 17 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.35 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 20.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 0.57 per match at 27.5, economy 4.63, strike rate 35.6.
