Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 43.2 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
0.48 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 9.1.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 13 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 16 catches in 33 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 69 × 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 19). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 19 matches since 1 Nov 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.55 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 33 innings at 17.2 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 33 matches — 1.27 per match at 9.1, economy 4.29, strike rate 12.6.
