Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.3 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 3.79.
- ✓ Safe hands — 24 catches in 65 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (Rep Div 1 4 · Rep Div 2 3 · Club 58). 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: 23 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 65 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 60 innings at 19.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 63 wickets in 54 matches bowled in (of 65 played) — 1.17 per match at 20.7, economy 3.79, strike rate 32.7.
