Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 57.8 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 10.7.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.78.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 17 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 41 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 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
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 41). 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: 15 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 40 innings at 18.8 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 40 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 0.93 per match at 10.7, economy 3.78, strike rate 16.9.
