Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 52.0 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 3 hundred(s), best of 116.
- ✓ Safe hands — 59 catches in 159 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 4 × 40% · Batting 40 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). 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 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 58 catches + 4 run outs (2 direct, 2 assisted) in 159 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- 3,179 runs in 159 innings, adjusted average 21.6, strike rate 52.0. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 21 wickets from 113.5 overs across 31 matches bowled in (of 159 played) — 0.13 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
