Strike rotation needs urgent work
Strike rate of 33.8 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.46.
- ✓ Safe hands — 10 catches in 28 matches (0.36 per match), a genuine selection asset.
How these ratings are calculated
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 55 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 58 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.54 for the level played (Rep Div 1 17 · 3rd grade 1 · Club 9 · 4th grade 1). 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: 10 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 28 matches — 0.39 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 15.7 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 25 wickets in 21 matches bowled in (of 28 played) — 1.19 per match at 19.1, economy 3.46, strike rate 33.1.
