Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 63.1 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 40 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.53 for the level played (Rep Div 1 19 · 2nd grade 6 · 3rd grade 3 · Club 30 · 4th grade 2). 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 + 4 run outs (4 direct, 0 assisted) in 60 matches — 0.40 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 47 innings at 19.4 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 55 wickets in 52 matches bowled in (of 60 played) — 1.06 per match at 21.7, economy 3.85, strike rate 33.7.
