Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.0 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 3.47.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 24 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 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 (1st grade 5 · 2nd grade 12 · 3rd grade 2 · Club 1 · 4th grade 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 16 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 49 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 45 innings at 20.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 50 wickets in 44 matches bowled in (of 49 played) — 1.14 per match at 21.1, economy 3.47, strike rate 36.5.
