Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 64.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
info
Fielding
Fielding is a selection weapon
0.54 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 2 hundred(s), best of 114.
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 16.6.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
- ✓ Safe hands — 20 catches in 37 matches (0.54 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 50 × 40% · Batting 49 × 30% · Bowling 61 × 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 37). 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: 20 catches + 3 run outs (3 direct, 0 assisted) in 37 matches — 0.62 per match.
- Batting
- 957 runs in 39 innings, adjusted average 25.2, strike rate 64.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 37 wickets in 23 matches bowled in (of 37 played) — 1.61 per match at 16.6, economy 4.03, strike rate 24.8.
