Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 61.3 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.13.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 23 balls.
- ✓ Dangerous ground fielder — involved in 13 run outs.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 21 catches + 13 run outs (5 direct, 8 assisted) in 71 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 57 innings at 17.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 66 wickets in 69 matches bowled in (of 71 played) — 0.96 per match at 12.1, economy 3.13, strike rate 23.1.
