Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 58.2 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
0.64 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 17.7.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 25 catches in 39 matches (0.64 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting 38 × 30% · Bowling 55 × 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 39). 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: 14 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 39 matches — 0.36 per match.
- Batting
- 365 runs in 28 innings, adjusted average 17.7, strike rate 58.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 52 wickets in 32 matches bowled in (of 39 played) — 1.62 per match at 17.7, economy 4.32, strike rate 24.6.
