Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 46.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 107.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.65.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 46 × 40% · Batting 54 × 30% · Bowling 57 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.32 for the level played (3rd grade 6 · Club 2 · 4th grade 7). 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: 3 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 15 matches — 0.33 per match.
- Batting
- 356 runs in 13 innings, adjusted average 29.5, strike rate 46.8. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 11 matches bowled in (of 15 played) — 1.27 per match at 21.4, economy 3.65, strike rate 35.1.
