Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 101.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 11.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.27.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 21 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 14 catches in 40 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting 65 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.61 for the level played (Rep Div 1 25 · Club 15). 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: 11 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 40 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- 921 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 30.3, strike rate 64.6. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 28 wickets in 30 matches bowled in (of 40 played) — 0.93 per match at 11.7, economy 3.27, strike rate 21.4.
