Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 48.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.60.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 25 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 52 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.33 for the level played (3rd grade 17 · Club 25 · 4th grade 4). 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: 13 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 46 matches — 0.30 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 20.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 23 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 46 played) — 1.00 per match at 23.2, economy 3.60, strike rate 38.7.
