Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.3 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 12.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.10.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 24 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.40 for the level played (Rep Div 1 29 · Club 53). 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: 21 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 71 innings at 19.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 132 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 1.94 per match at 12.3, economy 3.10, strike rate 23.7.
