Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.4 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 17.4.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.40.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 30 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 59 × 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 31). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 31 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 41 matches — 0.29 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 18.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 44 wickets in 38 matches bowled in (of 41 played) — 1.16 per match at 17.5, economy 3.40, strike rate 30.8.
