Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 56.8 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
0.44 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 13.9.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.23.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 34 matches (0.44 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.78 for the level played (Rep Div 1 25). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 25 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.44 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 32 innings at 19.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 22 wickets in 22 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.00 per match at 14.0, economy 3.23, strike rate 25.9.
