Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.0 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
0.49 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 17.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.01.
- ✓ Safe hands — 40 catches in 81 matches (0.49 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 53 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 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 38). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 38 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 40 catches + 9 run outs (5 direct, 4 assisted) in 81 matches — 0.60 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 81 innings at 23.6 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 115 wickets in 78 matches bowled in (of 81 played) — 1.47 per match at 17.6, economy 3.01, strike rate 35.1.
