Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 25.0 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 3.78.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 61 × 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 11). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 11 matches since 29 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 16 matches — 0.31 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 9 innings at 16.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 14 matches bowled in (of 16 played) — 1.43 per match at 20.4, economy 3.78, strike rate 32.4.
