Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 51.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Effective lower-order runs — adjusted average 33.5 (frequently not out).
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.38.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 16 × 40% · Batting 39 × 30% · Bowling 58 × 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 1 · Club 10). 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: 3 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 11 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- 137 runs in 7 innings, adjusted average 33.6, strike rate 51.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 9 wickets in 9 matches bowled in (of 11 played) — 1.00 per match at 12.7, economy 2.38, strike rate 32.0.
