Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 118.
- ✓ Safe hands — 52 catches in 136 matches (0.38 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 54 × 40% · Batting 60 × 30% · Bowling 14 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.67 for the level played (1st grade 47 · 2nd grade 77 · 3rd grade 6 · Club 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 52 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 136 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 2,579 runs in 127 innings, adjusted average 24.1, strike rate 58.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 41 wickets in 47 matches bowled in (of 136 played) — 0.30 per match at 38.6, economy 4.29, strike rate 54.0.
