high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 51.5 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 8.7.
  • ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.89.
  • ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 18 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 21 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 70 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.33 for the level played (Rep Div 2 11 · Club 33). 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: 7 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 44 matches — 0.18 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 39 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
29 wickets in 28 matches bowled in (of 44 played) — 1.04 per match at 8.7, economy 2.89, strike rate 18.0.
