Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 59.9 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
0.43 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.6.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.56.
- ✓ Safe hands — 26 catches in 60 matches (0.43 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 43 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 68 × 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 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 40 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 26 catches + 3 run outs (1 direct, 2 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.48 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 41 innings at 16.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 72 wickets in 56 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.29 per match at 15.6, economy 3.56, strike rate 26.2.
