Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 62.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 27 catches in 73 matches (0.37 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 42 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 49 × 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 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 12 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 27 catches + 6 run outs (4 direct, 2 assisted) in 73 matches — 0.45 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 65 innings at 15.5 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 45 wickets in 61 matches bowled in (of 73 played) — 0.74 per match at 32.3, economy 4.80, strike rate 40.4.
