Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 47.7 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 12.8.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.50.
- ✓ Safe hands — 5 catches in 6 matches (0.83 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 80 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 64 × 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 6). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 6 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 5 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 6 matches — 1.00 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 8 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 13 wickets in 6 matches — 2.17 per match at 12.9, economy 2.50, strike rate 30.8.
