Strike rotation needs urgent work

medium
Batting
High duck rate

Strengths

- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 22 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 39 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 67 × 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 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 3 run outs (0 direct, 3 assisted) in 22 matches — 0.50 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 13 innings at 20.0 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 33 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 22 played) — 1.57 per match at 14.8, economy 3.40, strike rate 26.1.
