Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.57 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 12 catches in 21 matches (0.57 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 60 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 60 × 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 20). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 20 matches since 28 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 12 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 21 matches — 0.71 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 20 innings at 17.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 20 wickets in 21 matches — 0.95 per match at 12.6, economy 4.57, strike rate 16.6.
