Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.7 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 14.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.26.
- ✓ Safe hands — 21 catches in 37 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 67 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 62 × 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 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.59 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 31 innings at 15.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 63 wickets in 36 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.75 per match at 14.9, economy 3.26, strike rate 27.5.
