Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.4 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
0.48 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 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.15.
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 31 matches (0.48 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 44 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 55 × 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 23). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 23 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 15 catches + 3 run outs (2 direct, 1 assisted) in 31 matches — 0.58 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 28 innings at 19.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 42 wickets in 29 matches bowled in (of 31 played) — 1.45 per match at 15.3, economy 3.15, strike rate 29.2.
