Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.7 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 11.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.49.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 20 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.31 for the level played (Rep Div 2 4 · Club 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 7 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 27 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 22 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 27 played) — 1.00 per match at 11.7, economy 3.49, strike rate 20.1.
