Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 42.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.42.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 39 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 51 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.23 for the level played (4th grade 2 · 5th grade and below 5). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 7 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.41 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 29 innings at 16.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 53 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.47 per match at 21.5, economy 3.42, strike rate 37.8.
