Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 55.1 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 10.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.44.
- ✓ Safe hands — 30 catches in 82 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 12 × 40% · Batting 41 × 30% · Bowling 65 × 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 14). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 14 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 24 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 82 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 1,153 runs in 73 innings, adjusted average 18.4, strike rate 55.1. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 68 wickets in 50 matches bowled in (of 82 played) — 1.36 per match at 10.4, economy 2.44, strike rate 25.6.
