Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 54.6 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 15.3.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.71.
- ✓ Strikes regularly — a wicket every 25 balls.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 45 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 63 × 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 13). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 13 matches since 31 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 9 catches + 2 run outs (1 direct, 1 assisted) in 34 matches — 0.32 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 25 innings at 21.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 46 wickets in 31 matches bowled in (of 34 played) — 1.48 per match at 15.3, economy 3.71, strike rate 24.7.
